+The MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Region) benchmark is derived from the source provided by Andrea Vedaldi 
+at http://www.vlfeat.org/~vedaldi/code/mser.html, version 0.4.  A later
+version of the component, version .5, has since been incorporated into the VLFeat open source 
+package (http://VLFeat.org), version 0.9.4.1. 
+
+The header files of the version .4 MSER code contain the following license:

+We have modified MSER in the following ways:
+
+- we generated a standalone C version from the mser.mex.c source.
+- we augmented the code in order to support collection of benchmarking data (matlab and C)
+- we create benchmark inputs for the code (matlab and C)
+- we modified the code to use our own standardized library for common functions (matlab and C)
+
+Our modifications are available under the same license as above, since UCSD is also
+part of the University of California.
