:param type:one of the three neighborhoods as defined in the paper: ``FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_9_16``, ``FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_7_12``, ``FastFeatureDetector::TYPE_5_8``
..note:: In Python API, types are given as ``cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_5_8``, ``cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_7_12`` and ``cv2.FAST_FEATURE_DETECTOR_TYPE_9_16``. For corner detection, use ``cv2.FAST.detect()`` method.

Class implementing the ORB (*oriented BRIEF*) keypoint detector and descriptor extractor, described in [RRKB11]_. The algorithm uses FAST in pyramids to detect stable keypoints, selects the strongest features using FAST or Harris response, finds their orientation using first-order moments and computes the descriptors using BRIEF (where the coordinates of random point pairs (or k-tuples) are rotated according to the measured orientation).
..ocv:function:: ORB::ORB(int nfeatures = 500, float scaleFactor = 1.2f, int nlevels = 8, int edgeThreshold = 31, int firstLevel = 0, int WTA_K=2, int scoreType=ORB::HARRIS_SCORE, int patchSize=31)
:param scaleFactor:Pyramid decimation ratio, greater than 1. ``scaleFactor==2`` means the classical pyramid, where each next level has 4x less pixels than the previous, but such a big scale factor will degrade feature matching scores dramatically. On the other hand, too close to 1 scale factor will mean that to cover certain scale range you will need more pyramid levels and so the speed will suffer.
:param WTA_K:The number of points that produce each element of the oriented BRIEF descriptor. The default value 2 means the BRIEF where we take a random point pair and compare their brightnesses, so we get 0/1 response. Other possible values are 3 and 4. For example, 3 means that we take 3 random points (of course, those point coordinates are random, but they are generated from the pre-defined seed, so each element of BRIEF descriptor is computed deterministically from the pixel rectangle), find point of maximum brightness and output index of the winner (0, 1 or 2). Such output will occupy 2 bits, and therefore it will need a special variant of Hamming distance, denoted as ``NORM_HAMMING2`` (2 bits per bin). When ``WTA_K=4``, we take 4 random points to compute each bin (that will also occupy 2 bits with possible values 0, 1, 2 or 3).
:param scoreType:The default HARRIS_SCORE means that Harris algorithm is used to rank features (the score is written to ``KeyPoint::score`` and is used to retain best ``nfeatures`` features); FAST_SCORE is alternative value of the parameter that produces slightly less stable keypoints, but it is a little faster to compute.
:param patchSize:size of the patch used by the oriented BRIEF descriptor. Of course, on smaller pyramid layers the perceived image area covered by a feature will be larger.
Class implementing the FREAK (*Fast Retina Keypoint*) keypoint descriptor, described in [AOV12]_. The algorithm propose a novel keypoint descriptor inspired by the human visual system and more precisely the retina, coined Fast Retina Key- point (FREAK). A cascade of binary strings is computed by efficiently comparing image intensities over a retinal sampling pattern. FREAKs are in general faster to compute with lower memory load and also more robust than SIFT, SURF or BRISK. They are competitive alternatives to existing keypoints in particular for embedded applications.

:param selectedPairs:(Optional) user defined selected pairs indexes,
FREAK::selectPairs
------------------
Select the 512 best description pair indexes from an input (grayscale) image set. FREAK is available with a set of pairs learned off-line. Researchers can run a training process to learn their own set of pair. For more details read section 4.2 in: A. Alahi, R. Ortiz, and P. Vandergheynst. FREAK: Fast Retina Keypoint. In IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012.
We notice that for keypoint matching applications, image content has little effect on the selected pairs unless very specific what does matter is the detector type (blobs, corners,...) and the options used (scale/rotation invariance,...). Reduce corrThresh if not enough pairs are selected (43 points --> 903 possible pairs)
