ans me if any one knows.

matlab imlpementation of David Lowe's paper on this link

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/keypoints/

the function is like this.

[image, descriptors, locs] = sift(image1);

i just want to know about parameter "locs".is it returns the location of descritor as [x y scale orientation] ?????

if it gives location than x and y must be a whole number.but it gives values in points.

+3  A: 

SIFT uses subpixel accuracy when locating the keypoint. This can be seen in Section 4 Lowe's 2004 SIFT paper.

oop i cud,nt understand till now..........can you please elaborate.
chee
i mean the location of key point (row and column) should be a whole number.why is it giving in points.?????for example value for p(x,y) can be p(1,3).....it cant be p(1.3,3.45)but this implementation is doing so....WHY???hope you got what i want to ask.
chee
Did you read section 4 of Lowe's paper?
carlosdc
Chee, the values for the locations aren't restricted to integers. (1.3, 3.45) is a valid location for a keypoint.
