+Initialisation depends upon the version of FAST installed. For the stand-alone version, simply double click the FAST.exe icon. Alternatively, if you are using the native Matlab version, you can start it by typing:

-Upsampling is most useful when your objects are small relative to the pixel size. It is usually worth considering if your objects are smaller than ~100 pixels in area.
+Upsampling is most useful when your objects are small relative to the pixel size. It is usually worth considering if the objects you wish to detect are less than ~15 pixels in width, and is almost essential for accurate segmentation if your objects are less than ~7 pixels in width.
