Definition

Speeded-Up Robust Features: A faster alternative to SIFT for feature detection and description.

Detailed Explanation

SURF accelerates feature detection by using integral images and box filters to approximate derivatives. It maintains similar robustness to SIFT while offering improved computational efficiency. The algorithm generates feature descriptors that are invariant to scale and rotation.

Use Cases

1. Real-time object tracking 2. Image registration 3. Visual SLAM 4. Scene recognition
