Feature Descriptors/Vectors
- Feature descriptors encode interesting information into a series of numbers and act as a sort of numerical “fingerprint” that can be used to differentiate one feature from another.
- Ideally this information would be invariant under image transformation, so we can find the feature again even if the image is transformed in some way.
