Is SIFT algorithm patent valid in Europe? Still my application is very tricky, as there are not shapes, but random speckle patterns (a random cheetah skin) so any really small improvement in robustness is highly noted. SURF only uses 64 features while SIFT uses 128, actually SURF is "Speed up" because of that (among other things I think). For the 99% of the cases SURF is better than SIFT because the improvement in the robustness is not different for object tracking, but in my case (finding a piece of texture in a big one) the difference is evident (empirically tested). |

Is SIFT algorithm patent valid in Europe? @kinkfisher Thanks for the explanation, it is interesting to understand (more or less) the tricks of the world of the patents. |

Is SIFT algorithm patent valid in Europe? @kinkfisher what i've read was that even if there are software patents in EU there are not ALGORITHM patents. I am a "noob" in the world of patents though. |

Is SIFT algorithm patent valid in Europe? But the robustness of SIFT is difficult to improve! Even if other are computationally less expensive and there are ways or eliminating mismatched features still SIFT is the most robust one, and I highly prefer robustness than speed in my program (it is a measurement program, so it needs high precision and robustness). |

Is SIFT algorithm patent valid in Europe? Uau... I did't get it completely. That means that I cannot use it for Europe, doesn't it? |
