SIFT-sift.m

留坑，回头来写注释

% [image, descriptors, locs] = sift(imageFile)
%
% This function reads an image and returns its SIFT keypoints.
%   Input parameters:
%     imageFile: the file name for the image.
%
%   Returned:
%     image: the image array in double format
%     descriptors: a K-by-128 matrix, where each row gives an invariant
%         descriptor for one of the K keypoints.  The descriptor is a vector
%         of 128 values normalized to unit length.
%     locs: K-by-4 matrix, in which each row has the 4 values for a
%         keypoint location (row, column, scale, orientation).  The 
%         orientation is in the range [-PI, PI] radians.
