Repository for the payload software.
Check out match.c for an example of how to use the RANSAC function. Try
match beaver.png beaver_xform.png to see it work.
Documentation is included in the docs/ directory. If it is not there,
use make doc to build it (you need Doxygen).
Help is available for executables using the '-h' command line option.
Requres CMake:
http://www.cmake.org/
All code in this package requires the OpenCV library (known working version is 2.3): http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/
Compile & Run Sift:
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make ../bin/siftfeat
Compile & Run Tests:
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make ../bin/runUnitTests
Compile Documentation:
mkdir build cd build cmake .. make doc
This should produce a few executables in bin/, a static library lib/libsift.a, and some HTML documentation in docs/. You can use the -h argument to get help with any of the executables. libsift.a can be compiled into your own code using the standard method:
gcc -I/path/to/sift/include/ -L/path/to/sift/lib/ yourcode.c -o yourexecutable -lsift
The documentation in docs/ describes all of the functions available in libopensift.a as well as #defines, etc. Use the documentation to determine what header files from include/ to include in your code.
