GENERATEKEYS(1)			  User Manual		       GENERATEKEYS(1)

NAME
       generatekeys - Generate SIFT keypoints from an image file

SYNOPSIS
       generatekeys.exe	imagefile keyfile[.gz] [downscaleResolution]

DESCRIPTION
       Generate	SIFT key descriptors for an image. It reads in the image file,
       finds  SIFT  keypoints  for descriptive image locations and outputs the
       SIFT descriptors	to the keyfile.	The image  is  internally  doubled  in
       size,  as  this	increases the number of	keypoints found. If you	do not
       want this behaviour or want to downscale	the  picture,  see  the	 down-
       scaleResolution	option.	The resulting keyfiles can be processed	by the
       other utilities in the autopano-sift package.

OPTIONS
       imagefile
	      The image	file name that will be read in and processed.  It  can
	      be  in  any  format  readable by the GDK pixbuf loaders. Usually
	      that includes JPEG, PNG and TIFF.

       keyfile
	      The name of the keypoint XML file	to  generate.  When  ".gz"  is
	      used  at the end of the filename,	the file is transparently com-
	      pressed using the	gzip compression. See gzip(1)

       downscaleResolution
	      An optional integer width	and height limitation. If  given,  the
	      input  image  is	downscaled so its larger dimension matches the
	      given size in pixels.  The smaller the downscale resolution, the
	      smaller the memory requirements, but  also  less	keypoints  are
	      found.  In  case	no downscale resolution	is given, the image is
	      doubled in size prior to processing, which leads	to  substantly
	      more  keypoints.	If  you	 use  0	as downscaleResolution you can
	      switch this behaviour off	and the	original image is used without
	      applying any scaling.

BUGS
       The memory requirements are quite big. If you have 256Mb	 of  ram,  you
       should  go with a 700 downscale resolution, if you have 512Mb 1300 is a
       good value.
