Before you begin use SURF or other features detect algorithms you must have installed opencv_contrib (https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib). And then you may go follow by https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/df/dd2/tu... . Good luck :)

you're probably staring at outdated code, it should be cv2.xfeatures2d.SURF_create() nowadays.

also note, that to use this, you have to build cv2 from src, and enable the non free SIFT & SURF code with cmake -DOPENCV_ENABLE_NNFREE=ON (you won't get this functionality using pip or other ppm's)

please also have a look at non-patented algorithms like ORB or AKAZE.
