Maybe it was the videos?
> SIFT is patented
All the better then that Yahoo acquired a licence somehow, processed the data and made the results available. You don't need a license to compare keypoints I hope?
- kastnerkyle 12y agoThat is the point - if SIFT is patented (though it is free for research it is not clear that Yahoo got commercial licensing) it is prohibited to generate their keypoints, even if it is to compare to your own! Just because they don't prosecute, doesn't mean it is OK. I guess in this case, Yahoo might have taken the heat for you. Hopefully they got a proper license agreement, as that would be great for everyone.
- reitanqild 12y agoI make an educated guess that Yahoo has a valid license for a public project like this ;-) > it is prohibited to generate their keypoints, even if it is to compare to your own But you can still compare them against each other and against other data sets.
