Description

Hi,

is there any possibility to add an option to make_vcsp_2018.pl to run only for an specific image or new images without item.json?
Would be very helpful to speed up the process of adding new images to large libraries.

Regards Philipp

Research direction

Start by reading make_vcsp_2018.pl and identify how it discovers images and checks for item.json. Determine how a specific image and images without item.json should be selected, then verify the option against a small library and an existing image set. Done means the script can limit processing to either requested images or new images without item.json.
