OpenCV 4.0 release candidate

OpenCV Library November 12, 2018 Leave a Comment News

We’ve just released a very close approximation of OpenCV 4.0, the release candidate.

OpenCV 4.0 RC includes ~60 new patches since OpenCV 4.0 beta:

  • Experimental Vulkan backend have been added to the dnn module, thanks to Zhiwen Wu and Juan J. Zhao.
  • opencv_stitching module interface has been refactored, thanks to Jiri Horner.
  • More accurate camera calibraion method have been implemented, thanks to Wenfeng CAI.
  • Persistence part of the core module (storing data in XML/YML/JSON formats) has been rewritten in C++ and consumes less memory when reading FileStorage. The C API (CvFileStorage) has been removed.
  • Graph API module has been extended: it recieved initial heterogenity support, OpenCL support, better documentation, ability to build it standalone. Thanks to Dmitry Matveev, Dmitry Budnikov and other G-API folks!
  • Some more of obsolete C-API has been removed in the following modules: photo, video, imgcodecs, videoio
  • Dropped obsolete videoio and highgui backends: QuickTime, QTKit, Unicap, Video for Windows, libv4l, DC1394_V1, Carbon
  • shape, superres, videostab, viz modules and TVL1 optical flow algorithm were moved to opencv_contrib
  • DIS optical flow algorithm, implemented by Alexander Bokov, has been moved to the main repository from opencv_contrib.
  • Some latest changes in 3.4 branch have been merged to the master, including updated libpng (security fixes), XCode 10 support, Turing GPU support, many optimizations and bug fixes
