=======================
BRIEF binary descriptor
=======================

This example demonstrates the BRIEF binary description algorithm. The descriptor
consists of relatively few bits and can be computed using a set of intensity
difference tests. The short binary descriptor results in low memory footprint
and very efficient matching based on the Hamming distance metric. BRIEF does not
provide rotation-invariance. Scale-invariance can be achieved by detecting and
extracting features at different scales.
