+Binary Descriptors for Line Segments
+====================================
+
+This module shows how to extract line segments from an image by 2 different methods: First segmenting lines with Line Segment Detector LSDDetector and then (or just) using the Binary Descriptor to get the lines and give them a descriptor -- BinaryDescriptor. Finally, we can then match line segments using the BinaryDescriptorMatcher class.
