A lightweight python wrapper for sift++ (a C++ implementation of the Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) which takes an image and returns a list of SIFT descriptors.

This software embodies a method for which the following patent has been issued: "Method and apparatus for identifying scale invariant features in an image and use of same for locating an object in an image," David G. Lowe, US Patent 6,711,293 (March 23, 2004). Provisional application filed March 8, 1999. Asignee: The University of British Columbia.
The original sift++ code can be found at http://vision.ucla.edu/~vedaldi/code/siftpp/siftpp.html. Note it is only free for research use (due to the patent).
