How does ORB detect keypoints?
ORB uses the FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) algorithm to quickly find keypoints in an image.

What is the purpose of the orientation step in ORB?
The orientation step assigns a direction to each keypoint to make the descriptor rotation invariant, so features can be matched even if the image is rotated.

What descriptor does ORB use and why?
ORB uses the BRIEF descriptor but modifies it to be rotation invariant by using the keypoint orientation. This makes it fast and robust for matching.

What algorithm does ORB use to detect keypoints?
✗ Incorrect
ORB uses the FAST algorithm to quickly detect keypoints.
What is the main benefit of assigning orientation to ORB keypoints?
✗ Incorrect
Orientation assignment helps ORB descriptors handle image rotation.
Which descriptor does ORB modify for its feature description?
✗ Incorrect
ORB uses a rotation-aware version of the BRIEF descriptor.
Why is ORB often chosen for real-time applications?
✗ Incorrect
ORB is fast and free, making it ideal for real-time and open-source use.
Which of these is NOT a characteristic of ORB features?
✗ Incorrect
ORB is free of patent restrictions, unlike SIFT or SURF.
