Re: [help-GIFT] Optimizing

[address@hidden]

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
