The source code files in this directory implement as tightly as
|
|
possible algorithms described in this IPOL article. They are made
|
|
available to the exclusive aim of serving as scientific tools enabling
|
|
the verification of the soundness and completeness of the algorithmic
|
|
descriptions.
|
|
|
|
These source codes implement an algorithm possibly linked to the patent
|
|
[1][2]. Compiling or running this code may violate patents in certain
|
|
countries. For this reason, the use of the source files
|
|
- demo_ASIFT.cpp
|
|
- compute_asift_keypoints.cpp
|
|
- compute_asift_matches.cpp
|
|
- demo_lib_sift.cpp
|
|
may be restricted in certain countries to non profit research and non profit
|
|
educational purposes. In certain countries, redistribution or commercial
|
|
use of these source files may require the consent of the patent owner.

In short, be careful before you download, compile, use, modify, or
|
|
redistribute these source codes. The situation being different for every
|
|
country and changing over time, it is your responsibility to check that
|
|
you are not infringing a patent by using this source code. IPOL therefore
|
|
invites potential users to consult a patent lawyer. If and only if you are
|
|
free from any patent restriction, then you can enjoy the BSD license terms.
