Provide Info in the Readme as to how the Vocabulary was Generated #1

I'm doing some research into what effect the choice of vocabulary has on the efficacy of SLAM in a given environment, and trying to train my own vocabularies to see if this yields different results for a project I'm involved with.

When researching online, it seems that most users are using the default vocabulary files that come with the software (either OpenVSLAM, or a different package), and I haven't seen much discussion that gives a white-box view as to how those vocabularies have been generated - except that lotso f images have been used and so users should expect superior results to generating their own. However, I would expect that this requires the environment in which SLAM is being used to represent the environment used for the vocabulary - indoor explaration of corridors in a building, or outdoor exploration of a city, shopping centre, etc.

It would help to have some information in the readme, so I know what it is I am comparing against, and what environment it was designed for. Some ideas include:

Thanks!!
