JIT loading of image feature descriptors.  This helps reduce memory footprint for large data sets.  The system can effectively cache a set of recently used descriptors and unload those that haven't been used in a while.  This works really well because the image matching algorithm (that uses the descriptors) uses only a small subset of images in the short term when processing a typical gridded survey area.
