This page shows how to compile VLFeat MEX files for usage in GNU Octave (tested on version 3.6.4).
Make sure that the image
toolbox is installed in
Octave. This can be obtained, for example, by using
the pkg
builtin Octave command:
Unpack VLFeat and use the Makefile to compile the MEX files. To
instruct the Makefile to target Octave as well, specify the path to
the mkoctfile
command. For example,
if mkoctfile
is in your current path and VLFeat is
unpacked in VLFEATROOT
, the following should work:
After the MEX files are successfully compiled (look for them
into toolbox/mex/octave/
), you can start using VLFeat in
Octave in the same way as
MATLAB. Do not forget to use the vl_setup
command to
initalize the paths:
