The number of images and the number of extracted SIFT features on
average per image are the ones that basically directly influence the
parameters tree_k and tree_levels. I unfortunately do not have
anything else but a highly intuitive guess that 20 images with 500
SIFT features on average shall go in the database with (tree_k,
tree_levels) = (3, 3) or (4, 4). I used (6, 6) for ~150 images with
500 SIFT features.

The size of the DB shall not give runtime errors.

Yes, we do. Please a have look into germandeli_crawler package, you
will find a README.txt which will tell you how to run it.


cheers and let me know if you get into more troubles,
