The sift package contains classes needed for wrapping and accessing the sift binary.

The binary itself is NOT included in this library as it is incompatible with the licence. In order to use the SIFT algorithm, the binary has to be obtained from the website. Also, the path to the executable should be entered in the jfeaturelib.properties file.

The classes of this package should NOT be used directly except from the according classes in the de.lmu.dbs.jfeaturelib.features package.
