crop patch around SIFT point

How to crop patch around SIFT(or other detector) point?

I want to crop image patch around detector point but I don't know how to determine size and scale (maybe orientation also matters?)

Is it makes sense or special point is only can be described by descriptor? I need this patches to visually inspect result of detections.

I want to get something like this http://www.vlfeat.org/demo/covdet_patches.jpg

There is no evident size of "patch" around descriptors for SIFT. The number of octave is deduce from the image resolution, but if you only need a debug/feedback visualization, used the size you want... It doesn't really matter, as your patches are centered around the keypoints. If you want to do it fast, I suggest using a ROI to copy the parts of image to a destination buffer.

what if I take something like Harris corner detector(no scale invariance) can I determine the size of patch?

The octave is usually been set as 8 and there are also different scales of the original picture, this could be regard as filtered be different Gaussian filters. The patch I saw most is set as 44 or 22, each contains 44--66 pixals.
