Mlpfeats is used to convert a PCASYS formatted feature file from the lintran function into the format used by the mlp command. PCASYS keeps the feature file and class file in separate files and mlp stores them in a single file with different header information format. At this point it was decided to just convert the format from PCASYS features to mlp features file format, any future release may try and resolve this problem into a single format.
The PCASYS formatted features file. (Usually the output of lintran.)
The PCASYS formatted class file.
The MLP features file to be written, containing the PCASYS formatted feature and class files merged into a single MLP formatted file.
From test/pcasys/execs/mlpfeats/mlpfeats.src:
% mlpfeats ../lintran/fv1-9mlp.kls ../../data/oas/fv1-9.cls fv1-9mlp.kls Converts the feature file from the PCASYS file format to the mlp data file format (combines class and features into a single file.) It is unfortunate that two file formats exist but for now it is easier to keep both formats around.
