### Compiling ### In order to compile the hog3d feature extraction tool you need to have the following libraries installed on your system: * OpenCV library (tested with version 2) * ffmpeg library * boost libraries If these libraries are installed, simply type 'make' to compile the tool. The executable will be in the directory './release/'. ### run a test ### To check whether the tool is working properly, run the following command: ./release/extractFeatures -p test_sequences/walk-simple.pos test_sequences/walk-simple.avi > out.features Congratulations, you have computed your first HOG3D features :) ! You want to compare your file out.features with the file that I have computed myself to verify that everything is working correctly. To do so, type: vimdiff out.features test_sequences/hollywood2.features Note that I experienced differences in the exact feature information for different versions of ffmpeg library. Try to use a recent snapshot. ### Bugs and extensions ### Various questions have already been posed .. I put up a FAQ on my website. If you experience problems or have questions, please check whether the FAQ will give you an answer: http://lear.inrialpes.fr/people/klaeser If you find bugs, etc., feel free to drop me a line. Also if you developed some extension to the program, let me know and I can include it in the tool. You can find my contact data on my webpage, as well. ### LICENSE CONDITIONS ### The Image Annotation Tool for image annotations with pixelwise masks Copyright (C) 2007 Alexander Klaeser This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
