RE: [Vxl-maintainers] RE: vil2_algo

[Ian S. <ian...@st...>]

In the absence of a debate on this issue, I am going to go with Amitha's
suggestion and rename vil2_algo to vil2, and to ignore the algo/io
inconsistency.

This option minimises some monotonic function in effort (to perform) and
inconsistency (in residual.)

Ian.
