libsift

The scale-invariant feature transform is an algorithm to identify and locate interesting points within an image. For all such points, a descriptive signature is extracted. The signatures can be stored and matched among multiple images, allowing for a large number of interesting applications, such as aligning overlapping images and identifying objects or motion within image sequences. libsift is used by the autopano-sift program to create panorama images.
