Vanilla version of Bundler came with three scripts:

• Scripts/ToSitt.sh: a shell script to extract SIFT points from images in a directory (depends on imagemagick for pcm convertion)
• Scripts/extract_focal.pl: a perl script to extract exif data (depends on jhead)
• RunBundler.sh: the main script to launch the entire workflow.

At this time (https://github.com/archeos/bundler-archeos/tree/debian/0.4-0archeos1), they are not included in the binary package.

The main reason is that the original pipeline required Lowe's SIFT implementation, simply because the matcher provided by bundler (KeySiftMatcher) only knows Lowe's output format. So, It does not make sense to integrate these scripts since SIFT is not free and can't be provided out-of-the box with Archeos. We can only provide VLfeat SIFT extractor (which have a different output format)
PPT provide a workaround for this issue, with some python glue code to make the conversion VLFeat-SIFT <-> Lowe's SIFT.
PPT also take rid of extract_focal using a camera database + EXIF tag reading by the PIL

But the package should also offer the complete pipeline for user who don't want to use ppt :

• Provide these three scripts unchanged (and document necessity of using Lowe's sifft).
• Provide this 3 scripts but also a updated version of SiftKeyMatcher fully compatible with VLFeat (and make bundlersfm package dependent of VLFeat package)
• Provide a VLfeat-SIFT binary that output Lowe's format (and these 3 scripts)
• Don't provide anything (actual situation) and hope that users will only rely on ppt/ppt-gui

What's your opinions ?

Documentation imported by debhelper is a mess, mixing Pierre Moulon's instructions and ones from the creator.

• We must choose carefully files that can be useful.
• We can maybe work on a new documentation (manpages, markdown...)
