% CREATE_BINARY_64 Create 64-bit binary descriptors for retinal vessel features
%
% This function generates 64-bit binary feature descriptors using integral 
% images and Local Haar Patterns (LHP) for retinal vessel characterization.
%
% Syntax:
%   fVector = create_binary_64(row, column, Intgral_Img, PatchSize, times)
%
% Inputs:
%   row         - Row coordinate of the patch center (integer)
%   column      - Column coordinate of the patch center (integer)
%   Intgral_Img - Integral image for fast patch computation (double matrix)
%   PatchSize   - Size of the local patch (integer, typically 16-32)
%   times       - Scaling factor for feature computation (integer)
%
% Outputs:
%   fVector     - 64-bit binary feature vector (uint64)
%
% Description:
%   This function implements a 64-bit variant of Local Haar Patterns for
%   vessel detection. It computes multiple directional and intensity-based
%   comparisons within local image patches to create robust binary features.
%
% Example:
%   % Compute integral image
%   I = imread('retinal_image.tif');
%   integralImg = integralImage(rgb2gray(I));
%   
%   % Extract 64-bit binary features
%   features = create_binary_64(100, 150, integralImg, 24, 2);
%
