02/11/2005 - added option -unnormalized (ComputeDescriptor) 05/09/2005 - bugfix in SIFT computation (ComputeDescriptor) 22/08/2005: - Harris-Laplace - new implementation, faster and better - subpixel - for backward compatibility old implementation still available via -old - still in a bit beta state, but added option -scalestep - no scale selection to get multi-scale representation - Added detector: dense - defines a multiscale dense grid instead of detection points (useful e.g. for dense texture representation) - Affine computation - faster, better - for backward compatibility old implementation still available via -old - a_xxx options do not work anymore - Angle computation - different implementation, now it is only a gradient in the center (faster, better with Harris-Laplace). - for backward compatibility old implementation still available via -old - SIFT - new implementation from almost scratch: faster better - new options, more control on computation (window size, number of cells/bins) - for backward compatibility old implementation still available via -old - the default parameters for the new implementation are set to resemble as much as possible the old one. - Added representation: spin (Spin-Images) - Image I/O completely replaced with new implementation. 16/06/2004: - New detectors: DoG, LoG - New descriptor: SIFT - Some bug fixes - User's Guide separately available 15/01/2004: - Static binaries - ImageMagick (dynamically linked) binaries still included 13/06/2003: - Better affine estimation - Corrected bugs (frozen load/store) - Detect can be run on several files (specifying a list file) - Added DISPLAY feature to DrawCorners and Detect -ma 31/03/2003: Initial version
