SIFT Feature Detection

SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) is a method for detecting and describing distinctive local features in digital images. Introduced by David Lowe in 1999, SIFT extracts keypoints that remain invariant to scale, rotation, and illumination changes, making it highly robust for image matching and object recognition tasks.
