I have an application using FAST detector and SIFT descriptors. I want to try the new FREAK descriptor.

Is it enough by replacing SIFT functions by FREAK and keep using FAST detector or do I need to apply major changes?

Hi, I would like to know if you could share your experience. Which combination was the best? As far as I know SIFT detector rejects corners because the SIFT descriptor works better with blobs. Then the performance of SIFT detector + SIFT descriptor is higher than FAST + SIFT descriptor.

Yes. You just need to detect keypoints with FAST and call FREAK like this:

FREAK extractor;
extractor.compute(image, keypoints, descriptors);

It is similar to this demo.

FREAK is only a descriptor extractor, so, you need first to detect points. You must use FAST corner detector.
