feature file concat_v0.2

Overview

The feature-file-concat software is a simple tool that concatenates the two given input files. The input files can be keypoints file or matches file but have to be the same type. This tool is typically used to combine different keypoints and matches algorithms results.

Usage

The feature-file-concat software expects the following stream arguments and parameters :

--input-a -a, --input-b -b

Paths of the two files to concatenate.

--output -o

Path of the output file.

Demonstration

Considering the following content of the first keypoints file :

70.7391 5.29715 2.01567 280.746 0.0136282 8323583

and the following content of the second keypoints file :

the feature-file-concat software produce the following keypoints file :

252.464 51.9644 2.25392 345.838 0.0645392 16450047

The software imposes no limit on keypoints and matches content size.

Compilation
