LiME, or more fully, the Line Matching Environment,
is a set of algorithms for matching object models to image features where
both are expressed as sets of 2D line segments. The LiME system itself is
written in c++: there are roughly 20 source files which makeup
LiME. The execution of LiME is typically controlled through a parameters
file which contains 65 entries. Any of these parameters may
alternatively be passed to the executable as command line arguments.
To assist users working with LiME, a graphical users interface for
selecting and modifying control parameters has been developed in
Java. This companion system, called Limeade, organizes the
control parameters into logical sets, provides on-line documentation, and
allows users to quickly change parameters and re-invoke LiME.
The purpose of this users guide is to assist someone installing LiME and to provide a general overview of the what LiME can do. It includes some tutorial examples which should help a user confirm that the system is correctly installed as well as gain familiarity using the system.
