| 5 | +OVERVIEW |
| 6 | +-------- |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This code provides an implementation of the research paper: |

| 10 | +``` |
| 11 | + DaLI: Deformation and Light Invariant Descriptor |
| 12 | + Edgar Simo-Serra, Carme Torras, Francesc Moreno-Noguer |
| 13 | + International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV), 2015 |
| 14 | +``` |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +This allows local representation of image patches in such a way that they can be compared with strong invariance to both deformation and illumination. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The core of the code is written in C and is meant to be embedded in applications. It should be also possible to compile as a library and installed at a system level. |

| 43 | +Installation |
| 44 | +------------ |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The software depends on the [ceigs library](https://github.com/bobbens/ceigs) which provides an elegant C frontend to the [ARPACK library](http://www.caam.rice.edu/software/ARPACK/). Upon installing the ceigs library it should be possible to compile both the test application and the matlab/octave by simpling running make: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | +$ make |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Usage |
| 54 | +----- |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +The descriptor can be used both from octave (theoretically also matlab) and C. For an example of usage from C see the "test.c" file. As it should be compiled you can also run it by doing |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +``` |
| 59 | +$ ./test |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +You should get an output as the following: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +``` |
| 65 | +Processing point 9 x 8... |
| 66 | + Computing mesh... |
| 67 | + Computing Laplace-Beltrami... |

| 87 | +4 vs 6: 2631.432283 |
| 88 | +5 vs 6: 956.697412 |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +Additionally it is possible to run the application from octave. Currently matlab is not supported due to a library conflict, but in theory it should also be possible. To try the octave version from the "octave/" directory launch octave and run "test" as such: |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | +>> test |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +You should get an output such as: |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +``` |
| 100 | +Processing point 9 x 8... |
| 101 | + Computing mesh... |

| 129 | + |
| 130 | +Known Issues |
| 131 | +------------ |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +Currently it is not possible to run in matlab due to library conflict issues. However, it is possible to run it in octave or integrate it into any C application. |
