Description

What is the syntax for exposing more parameters in the OpenSFM config.py?

For instance, ORB has no tunable parameters listed, despite having a number of important parameters in the OpenCV documentation.

I would also like to follow suit and expand the tunable parameters for Akaze, SIFT, SURF, and the matchers, as well.

Research direction

Start by reading config.py and comparing the currently exposed ORB settings with the relevant OpenCV documentation. Determine how the existing configuration maps to ORB, Akaze, SIFT, SURF, and matcher parameters; done means the requested tunable parameters are exposed consistently for those components.
