7. Algorithms
SIFT
1. Scale-space extrema detection
Convolution with Gaussian filters at different scales
Calculation of differences
Points with maximal differences as keypoints

9. Algorithms
SIFT
3. Orientation assignment
Gradients of Gaussian smoothed image are considered (scale invariance)
Magnitudes and directions are put into a histogram
Orientation of the highest peak is assigned (rotation invariance)
