see post #6 for amped source code

walkthrough for using the program :
add a higashiDB named folder in c:\
while running the program :
type image path (+ image name + image ending ), click the button 2 or 4 times, type description, click save button to save new description for the image.
TextBox1.Text: jump ~= sqrt(h*w \ 250), jump < h (image height), jump < w (image width), jump > 1, the bigger the more recognition chance and results
