ORB Feature Descriptor/Evidence
Method evidence record

ORB Feature Descriptor

ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) combines the FAST corner detector with the BRIEF binary descriptor to create a fast, rotation-invariant feature detector and descriptor. Introduced by Rublee et al. in 2011, ORB is designed as a free, efficient alternative to patented methods like SIFT and SURF, making it ideal for real-time and resource-constrained applications.
