[Solved] matlab error: try to write SCRIPT vl_sift is executed as a function

Cause of problem:

1. The function name is the same as the file name

2. Missing \vlfeat-0.9.21\toolbox\mex\mexw64.

File directory:

\vlfeat-0.9.21\toolbox\sift\vl_sift.m

Error: function Directory:

[ kp1,ds1 ] = vl_sift(single(rgb2gray(img1)),'PeakThresh', 0,'edgethresh',3);

Solution:

1. Rename vl_sift.m to vl_sift1.m to solve it perfectly.

2. Copy the mex folder from other projects to \vlfeat-0.9.21\toolbox directory

vlfeat-0.9.21 version may have this problem. vlfeat-0.9.14 version mex is basically compiled. So there is no such problem.
