VISE source code can be download from its gitlab code repository. The VISE source is known to compile in GNU/Linux (gcc), Windows 10 (Visual C++) and MacOS (Clang).
These compilation instructions have been tested on the following platforms:
- Ubuntu 18.04
- MacOS Big Sur
export VISE_DIR=$HOME/vise # change this to suit your preferences
export VISE_CODE=$HOME/vise/code
export VISE_DEP=$HOME/vise/dep
mkdir -p $VISE_CODE
mkdir -p $VISE_DEP
cd $VISE_CODE
git clone https://gitlab.com/vgg/vise
cd $VISE_CODE/vise/scripts/build/
# based on your platform, chose the command below
./make_deps_debian.sh $VISE_DEP # compile VISE dependencies for Debian Linux
./make_deps_macos.sh $VISE_DEP # compile VISE dependencies for MacOS Linux
# compile VISE
cd $VISE_CODE/vise/
mkdir cmake_build && cd cmake_build
$VISE_DEP/bin/cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$VISE_DEP ../src
make -j8 # compile VISE
# download generic visual vocabulary to VISE application folder
mkdir -p $HOME/.vise/asset/relja_retrival/visual_vocabulary/
cd $HOME/.vise/asset/relja_retrival/visual_vocabulary/
wget https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/software/vise/download/2.x.y/relja_retrival/generic-visual-vocabulary/imcount53629-imsize400x400-voc10k-hamm64.zip
unzip imcount53629-imsize400x400-voc10k-hamm64.zip
mv imcount53629-imsize400x400-voc10k-hamm64 latest
rm imcount53629-imsize400x400-voc10k-hamm64.zip
# create a symbolic link for VISE web application
ln -s $VISE_CODE/vise/src/www $HOME/.vise/www # you can copy "www" files as well
cd $VISE_CODE/vise/cmake_build
./vise/vise-cli --cmd=web-ui # start VISE server, the VISE web interface
# is available at http://localhost:9669
./vise/vise-cli --help
VISE can be built using docker as follows.
export VISE_DIR=$HOME/vise # change this to suit your preferences
export VISE_CODE=$HOME/vise/code
export VISE_DATA=$HOME/vise/data
mkdir -p $VISE_CODE $VISE_DATA
cd $VISE_CODE
git clone https://gitlab.com/vgg/vise
cd $VISE_CODE/vise/
# build docker image
sudo docker build -t vise .
# show list of available docker images
sudo docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
vise latest b6f63eb2dd0f 5 seconds ago 3.28GB
...
# run the vise server
sudo docker run \
-d --rm \
--volume $VISE_DATA/:/opt/vise/project/ \
-p 9669:9669 \
vise:latest
Now you can access VISE graphical user interface in a web browser at http://localhost:9669.
