This is a suggested program to evalute your VPC method, plus C++ code
that is useful for access the VPC dataset.

For using the C++ code to access the VPC dataset, please carefully 
read the comments in VPC.h and VPC_IO.cpp.

The comments also provides a way to help access the VPC datasetusing 
other programming languages.

For testing your VPC method, the first step is to change the base
VPC directory in VPC_IO.cpp (assuming you have setup the dataset.)

Not all the 12 room categories are available in all homes, thus we
recommend using only 5 categories at this time:
    bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living_room, dining_room.
If you are using this development kit, it is equivalent to setting:
 categories[1]=categories[2]=categories[3]=categories[5]=categories[6]=true.

Then,
   If you use Linux
      cd "your VPC base directory"
      make
      ./evaluate out.txt
   Replace "out.txt" with your output file. Read the comments for 
   detailed file format instructions. I provided a sample output
   file named "out.txt".

   If you use Windows
      I provided a Visual Studio 2008 solution & project file. If you
      are using different IDEs or compilers, please create a Windows
      Console application using your console or compiler.

This code is tested using g++ 4.3.2 & Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
