Compile Deep Matching on Ubuntu 14.04

Today I successed in porting the Deep Matching algorithm & tools from LEAR to Ubuntu. The algorithm itself is a stand-of-art solution to mutipal questions concerning image matching, comes with a easy-understanding code. However the author did not mention the dependency request of tools he used, and the system file structure of Fedora differs a lot from Ubuntu/Debian, hence the compile&install takes me quite a long time.

First to first, using

1

apt-get

to fix dependency. Take a look into

1

Makefile

, we have (although the default

1

make

method does not call this)

Which briefly declares the dependecy. In the following codes I’m omitting

1

sudo

, however most steps should be executed as root.

The following commands should add the corresponding

1

.h

file to search path. It’s just the beginning: Ubuntu itself includes

1

libjpeg

,

1

libpng

and some other tools the program uses in its kernel include path, hence a fix is taken to link such libaries to

1

/usr/lib/

Now we’ve dealt with

1

libjpeg

,

1

libpng

and

1

libz

. The part of

1

atlas

is a little unusal since the program uses machine-optimized version. We have to manually install

1

atlas

. Notice the following name of folder maynot be the same as others since the version of

1

atlas

at the time I try is 3.10.1.

Now return to

1

Makefile

, we have some last modify here. The dynamic link may work now, only to change

1	libptf77blas.so

to

1	libptfblas.so

if you don’t have

1	libptf77blas.so

under

1

/usr/lib

.

However when I tried on another computer, such method fails in loading

1

jpeglib.h

. A more steady way can be used by calling the static link method:

In

1	STATICLAPACKLDFLAGS

, Change all

1	usr/lib64/

to

1

usr/lib/

, and change

1	x86_64-redhat-linux

in the last argument to something like

1	/x86_64-linux-gnu

which is the folder name occurs in

1

/usr/lib

. Finally change

1	all: deepmatching

to

1	all: deepmatching-static

.

Now call the static-link method by

1

make

. Happy deep-matching.
