With the evolution of Machine Learning techniques, the concept of descriptor has gradually faded, giving way to a much more harmonious theory regarding the concept of information. Observing certain algorithms such as RBNs (section 4.8.2) and CNNs (section 4.8.5) as auto-encoders when connected to a decoder brings the concept of descriptor to its limits, allowing for the extraction of the minimum number of features necessary for the reconstruction of a portion of the image (under a given metric).
