function [frames,descriptors] = siftread(file) 
% SIFTREAD Read Lowe's SIFT implementation data files
%   [FRAMES, DESCRIPTORS] = READSIFT(FILE) reads the frames and the
%   descriptors from the specified file. The function reads files
%   produced by Lowe's SIFT implementation.
%     
%   FRAMES and DESCRIPTORS have the same format used by SIFT(). 
%
%   REMARK. Lowe's and our implementations use a silightly different
%   convention to store the orientation of the frame. When the file
%   is read, the orientation is changed to match our convention.

%   See also SIFT().
