+name: find-object
+base: core18
+version: '0.6.2+git'
+summary: Find-Object project, visit http://introlab.github.io/find-object/
+description: |
+  Features:
+  - You can change any parameters at runtime, make it easier to test feature detectors and descriptors without always recompiling.
+  - Detectors/descriptors supported (from OpenCV): BRIEF, Dense, FAST, GoodFeaturesToTrack, MSER, ORB, SIFT, STAR, SURF, FREAK and BRISK.
+  - Sample code with the OpenCV C++ interface below...
+  - For an example of an application using SURF descriptors: see my project RTAB-Map (an appearance-based loop closure detector for SLAM).
