It pulls out the first 100 SURF points from an input image and displays them on the screen as an overlay on the image. For a description of the SURF algorithm you should consult the following papers: This is the original paper which introduced the algorithm: SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features By Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars, and Luc Van Gool This paper provides a nice detailed overview of how the algorithm works: Notes on the OpenSURF Library by Christopher Evans */ #include "dlib/gui_widgets.h" #include "dlib/image_io.h" #include "dlib/image_keypoint.h" #include using namespace std; using namespace dlib; // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- int main(int argc, char** argv) { try { // make sure the user entered an argument to this program if (argc != 2) { cout << "error, you have to enter a BMP file as an argument to this program" << endl; return 1; } // Here we declare an image object that can store rgb_pixels.
