+/** @brief Class implementing DAISY descriptor, described in @cite Tola10
+
+@param radius radius of the descriptor at the initial scale
+@param q_radius amount of radial range division quantity
+@param q_theta amount of angular range division quantity
+@param q_hist amount of gradient orientations range division quantity
+@param mode choose computation mode of descriptors where
+DAISY::ONLY_KEYS means to compute descriptors only for keypoints in the list (default) and
+DAISY::COMP_FULL will compute descriptors for all pixels in the given image
+@param norm choose descriptors normalization type, where
+DAISY::NRM_NONE will not do any normalization (default),
+DAISY::NRM_PARTIAL mean that histograms are normalized independently for L2 norm equal to 1.0,
+DAISY::NRM_FULL mean that descriptors are normalized for L2 norm equal to 1.0,
+DAISY::NRM_SIFT mean that descriptors are normalized for L2 norm equal to 1.0 but no individual one is bigger than 0.154 as in SIFT
+@param H optional 3x3 homography matrix used to warp the grid of daisy but sampling keypoints remains unwarped on image
+@param interpolation switch to disable interpolation for speed improvement at minor quality loss
+@param use_orientation sample patterns using keypoints orientation, disabled by default.
