- update to 4.5.1, highlights below, for details check
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/ChangeLog#version451
* Continued merging of GSoC 2020 results:
+ Develop OpenCV.js DNN modules for promising web use cases
together with their tutorials
+ OpenCV.js: WASM SIMD optimization 2.0
+ High Level API and Samples for Scene Text Detection and
Recognition
+ SIFT: SIMD optimization of GaussianBlur 16U
* DNN module:
+ Improved layers / activations / supported more models:
- optimized: 1D convolution, 1D pool
- fixed: Resize, ReduceMean, Gather with multiple outputs,
importing of Faster RCNN ONNX model
- added support: INT32 ONNX tensors
+ Intel® Inference Engine backend (OpenVINO):
- added support for OpenVINO 2021.2 release
- added preview support for HDDL
+ Fixes and optimizations in DNN CUDA backend (thanks to
@YashasSamaga)
* G-API Framework:
+ Introduced serialization for cv::RMat, including
serialization for user-defined memory adapters
+ Introduced desync, a new Operation for in-graph asynchronous
execution - to allow different parts of the graph run with
a different latency
+ Introduced a notion of "in-graph metadata", now various
media-related information can be accessed in graph directly
(currently only limited to timestamps and frame IDs)
+ Introduced a new generic task-based executor, based on
Threading Building Blocks (TBB)
+ Extended infer<>() API to accept a new cv::GFrame data
structure to allow handling of various media formats without
changes in the graph structure
+ Made copy() an intrinsic where real copy may not happen
(optimized out) based on graph structure, extended it to
support cv::GFrame
+ Various fixes, including addressig static analysis,
documentation, and test issues
* G-API Operations:
+ Introduced new operations morphologyEx, boundingRect,
fitLine, kmeans, Background Subtractor, Kalman filter
* G-API Intel® Inference Engine backend (OpenVINO):
+ Extended cv::gapi::ie::Params<> to import CNN networks (e.g.
pre-compiled ones) instead of passing .XML and .BIN files;
also enabled configuring Inference Engine plugins via
this structure
+ Added a new overload to infer<>() to run inference over a
single region of interest
+ Added support for cv::MediaFrame input data type (projected
from cv::GFrame) and handling for NV12 input image format
* G-API Python bindings:
+ Exposed G-API's Inference and Streaming APIs in the OpenCV
Python bindings
+ Added initial Python support for cv::GArray data structure
* Significant progress on RISC-V port.
- Updated constraints, bump memory to 5 GB
- Cleaned up spec file
