Opencv4 #580

Closed JordanCheney closed 3 years ago

JordanCheney commented 3 years ago

This commit updates OpenBR to be compatible with OpenCV 4. There were a few challenges with this-

  1. OpenCV 4 removed the C persistence layer and the C ML classes, which the OpenBR boost interface depends on. I solved this by pulling the relevant classes out of OpenCV 2.X and 3.X and compiling them as part of the OpenBR build. See 3rdparty/opencv2-compat
  2. The OpenCV Random Forest API changed significantly, to the point where the plugins/classification/forest.cpp functionality is significantly impacted. In this patch forest.cpp is excluded from the build
  3. The OpenCV keypoint detector API changed significantly, to the point where plugins/imgproc/keypointdescriptor.cpp and plugins/metadata/keypointdetector.cpp are significantly impacted. Someone with interest in those plugins would need to rethink the interface to the cv::Features2D interface. In this patch both plugins are excluded from the build
  4. The plugin plugins/imgproc/custom_sift.cpp relied on function definitions that were no longer available. A similar approach to 1) might be possible (i.e. find the function definitions in a previous version of OpenCV and bring the source into OpenBR) but I couldn't find those functions. In this path custom_sift.cpp is excluded from the build
