             WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                 This object is a tool for extracting local feature descriptors from an image.

+                query the coefficients of these polynomials.  Additionally, the coefficients 
                 are intensity normalized by dividing them by the constant term of the fitted 
                 polynomial and then the constant term is discarded.

                 Downsample is set to 1 then feature extraction is performed at every pixel of
                 an input image (except for a small area around the image border).  However,
                 if Downsample is set to 2 then feature extraction is only performed at every
