Awesome, I have been using the your work a lot recently. I do have one question though, is SIFT available in the python bindings? I have not been able to find it.

Thanks for contributing your time, it has made my life much easier.

For SIFT computation, I recommend VLFeat[1], which there are some python bindings for[2] (although I haven't tried them myself).

Jan Erik is an outstanding guy. He has helped me through a couple of rough spots. The OpenCV python bindings for SIFT don't seem to work (or exist). The ones for ORB work really well. Here is an example: https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV/blob/master/SimpleCV/...

A colleague of mine is developping a Cython (and OpenMP) based sift wrapper. It's available here: https://github.com/kif/imageAlignment

It's already used for alignment of X-ray images.
