Running

1. Modify Makefile or VS Project File for library paths Dependencies - SuperLU - OpenCV

2. Compile

3. Execute on a single image,

    Parameters:
   
            -i [IN: image path]*
   
            -m [IN: mask image path]
   
            -t [IN: 0(Sketch)/1(Image)]*
   
            -s [IN: Scale image to value(in pixels), maintaining aspect ratio]
   
            -g [OUT: gradient image path]
   
            -o [OUT: descriptors path]*
   
    * = required
   

e.g. GFHOG.exe -i "myImage.jpg" -t 1 -s 100 -o "myImage.des"
