We present the Retina-inspired Invariant Fast Feature, RIFF, which was designed for invariance to scale, rotation, and affine image deformations. The feature descriptor is based on pair-wise comparisons over a sampling pattern loosely based on the human retina and introduces a method for improving accuracy by maximizing the discriminatory power of the point set. A performance evaluation with regard to bag of words based image retrieval on several well-known international datasets demonstrates
