## Explanation

Here is the general structure of the program:

- Initialize a net work with Device.
  cv::cnn_3dobj::descriptorExtractor descriptor(device);
- Load net with the caffe trained net work parameter and structure.
  if (strcmp(mean_file.c_str(), "no") == 0)
  descriptor.loadNet(network_forIMG, caffemodel);
  else
  descriptor.loadNet(network_forIMG, caffemodel, mean_file);
- List the file names under a given path.
  listDir(src_dir.c_str(), name_gallery, false);
  for (unsigned int i = 0; i < name_gallery.size(); i++)
  {
  name_gallery[i] = src_dir + name_gallery[i];
  }
- Extract feature from a set of images.
  descriptor.extract(img_gallery, feature_reference, feature_blob);
- Initialize a matcher which using L2 distance.
  cv::BFMatcher matcher(NORM_L2);
  std::vector<std::vector<cv::DMatch> > matches;
- Have a KNN match on the target and reference images.
  matcher.knnMatch(feature_test, feature_reference, matches, num_candidate);
- Print features of the reference images.
  std::cout << std::endl << "---------- Features of target image: " << target_img << "----------" << endl << feature_test << std::endl;
