FALKOLib is a library containing keypoint detectors for the stable detection
of interest points in laser measurements and two descriptors for robust associations.
Example of feature association with FALKO detector and BSC descriptors (left) and FALKO keypoint extraction in Intel-Lab dataset (right).
