There are several novel feature detectors such as ORB, FAST, SURF detectors. However, I don't know what their applications are.
I noticed that they can be used for corner detection, image matching. But how they can involve in another applications. I know ada-boost makes use of these descriptors' property. But I don't know how to make use of these detectors.
I'd like to know if there are some reference materials for me to know more how to take these detectors into applications.
