setImageDirectory in filters

[MJ-DEV91]

Hi.
I use PHOGFilter for classifying some images:

PHOGFilter phogFilter = new PHOGFilter();
phogFilter.setImageDirectory(file.getParent());
phogFilter.setInputFormat(instances);
Instances filteredTest = Filter.useFilter(instances, phogFilter);

Can I use the bytes of image or input stream of the image instead of path?
phogFilter.setImageDirectory(file.getParent());

Not currently. It would require a refactoring of the process method to seperate the code for reading the images from the code for feature extraction and reassembly into an instance. This is a feature that could be added in a future update.
