Abstract
The subject of this chapter is image key points which we define as a distinctive point in an input image which is invariant to rotation, scale and distortion. In practice, the key points are not perfectly invariant but they are a good approximation. To make our discussion more concrete we shall concentrate on two key point algorithms: SIFT and SURF and their use in spatial alignment.
