Re: Optimizing

Well, the feature extraction as is has suffered from the fact that it is a quick perl hack from the late nineties made to simplify the usage of a command line tool for single images. My tries to improve this in a more fundamental manner got stuck when I changed my job and realised that coding now takes too much of my time. I did not like the alternatives.

My view now is that the project could greatly profit if we got something going that is good enough. Yes, I do think making GIFT work for any-sized images is something useful, and it should not be stopped. I do not think my proposition is in any way in conflict with that.

Doing feature extraction with multiple files via command line parameters appears useful, however you won't get your 90k images in the command line. Hmm. There is xargs.

Anyway my feeling is that the pipe thingy will be more flexible and useful. It is a gut feeling.

Cheers,
Wolfgang
