No open-access PDF, so we'll narrate a briefing from the abstract instead.
[ TLDR ]
VLFeat is an open and portable library of computer vision algorithms that includes rigorous implementations of common building blocks such as feature detectors, feature extractors, (hierarchical) k-means clustering, randomized kd-tree matching, and super-pixelization.
