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  be-
     haviour  or  want to downscale the picture, see the downscaleResolution op-
     tion. 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.

     keyfileThe name of the keypoint XML file to generate. When ".gz" is used at
	    the end of the filename, the file is transparently compressed  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.
