% SIFTREFINEMX  Subpixel localization, thresholding and on-edge test
%   Q = SIFTREFINEMX(P, OCTAVE, SMIN) refines, thresholds and performs
%   the on-edge test for the SIFT frames P extracted from the DOG
%   octave OCTAVE with parameter SMIN (see GAUSSIANSS()).
%
%   Q = SIFTREFINEMX(P, OCTAVE, SMIN, THRESH, R) specifies custom
%   values for the local maximum strength threshold THRESH and the
%   local maximum peakedeness threshold R.
%
%   OCTAVE is an octave of the Difference Of Gaussian scale space. P
%   is a 3xK matrix specifying the indexes (X,Y,S) of the points of
%   extremum of the octave OCTAVE. The spatial indexes X,Y are integer
%   with base zero. The scale index S is integer with base SMIN and
%   represents a scale sublevel in the specified octave.
%
%   The function returns a matrix Q containing the refined keypoints.
%   The matrix has the same format as P, except that the indexes are
%   now fractional. The function drops the points that do not satisfy
%   the strength and peakedness tests.
%
%   See also SIFT().
