<p><b>VLFeat</b> is a cross-platform open source collection of vision |
|
|
algorithms with a special focus on visual features (for instance SIFT |
|
|
and MSER) and clustering (k-means, hierarchical k-means, agglomerative |
|
|
information bottleneck). It bundles a MATLAB toolbox, a clean and |
|
|
portable C library and a number of command line utilities. Thus it is |
|
|
possible to use the same algorithm both from MATLAB, the command line, |
|
|
and your own programs.</p> |

|
Fulkerson in 2007, based on previously published software from the |

same authors.</p> |
