This archive contains Matlab source code which allow to reproduce the experiments of the paper
    "Stochatic Image Models from SIFT-like Descriptors"
       by A. Desolneux, A. Leclaire

  The main functions are
   reconstruction_mspoisson.m : reconstruction from simplified SIFT descriptors with MS-Poisson
   reconstruction_sift.m : reconstruction from SIFT descriptors with MS-Poisson
   reconstruction_maxent.m : reconstruction from local HOG with MaxEnt

  One can execute step by step the script file
    expe_article_journal.m
  in order to reproduce the experiments shown in the paper.

  Test images are available in the folder 
       images/
  The corresponding sift features are given in the folder
       sift_descriptors/

  Alternately, you can use the SIFT features obtained with the original
   implementation of SIFT by D. Lowe, available here:
