Add the FREAK detector #42

Hi,

As far as I know (maybe it would need more research) the FREAK detector is more 
powerfull, faster and consume less memory than SURF and SIFT. 

Also, I don't think it is patented because in openCV it is not included in the 
"nonfree" DLL. 

It could be a very good alternative for users who want to use Accord.NET in 
commercial application but can't because most of the very powerful algorithm 
use SURF. All of this could be replaced by the FREAK detector.

Here is a comparison of 3 detector and FREAK is the winner:

A simple, initial version of the FREAK descriptor using the FAST corners 
detector will be available in the next release. It would still be needed to add 
a multi-scale FAST or AGAST to implement it completely.
