- update to 4.5.2, highlights below, for details check
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/ChangeLog#version452
* core: added support for parallel backends.
* imgproc: added IntelligentScissors implementation (JS demo).
* videoio: improved hardware-accelerated video de-/encoding tasks.
* DNN module:
+ Improved debugging of TensorFlow parsing errors: #19220
+ Improved layers / activations / supported more models:
- optimized: NMS processing, DetectionOutput
- fixed: Div with constant, MatMul, Reshape
(TensorFlow behaviour)
- added support: Mish ONNX subgraph, NormalizeL2 (ONNX),
LeakyReLU (TensorFlow), TanH + SAM (Darknet), Exp
+ Intel® Inference Engine backend ( OpenVINO™ ):
added support for OpenVINO 2021.3 release
* G-API module:
+ Python support:
- Introduced a new Python backend - now G-API can run custom
kernels written in Python as part of the pipeline: #19351
- Extended Inference support in the G-API bindings: #19318
- Added more graph data types in the G-API bindings: #19319
+ Inference support:
- Introduced dynamic input / CNN reshape functionality in the
OpenVINO inference backend #18240
- Introduced asynchronous execution support in the OpenVINO
inference backend, now it can run in multiple parallel
requests to increase stream density/throughput: #19487, #19425
- Extended supported data types with INT64/INT32 in ONNX
inference backend and with INT32 in the OpenVINO inference
backend #19792
- Introduced cv::GFrame / cv::MediaFrame and constant support
in the ONNX backend: #19070
+ Media support:
- Introduced cv::GFrame / cv::MediaFrame support in the
drawing/rendering interface: #19516
- Introduced multi-stream input support in Streaming mode
and frame synchronization policies to support cases like
Stereo: #19731
- Added Y and UV operations to access NV12 data of cv::GFrame
at the graph level; conversions are done on-the-fly if the
media format is different: #19325
+ Operations and kernels:
- Added performance tests for new operations (MorphologyEx,
BoundingRect, FitLine, FindContours, KMeans, Kalman,
BackgroundSubtractor)
- Fixed RMat input support in the PlaidML backend: #19782
- Added ARM NEON optimizations for Fluid AbsDiffC, AddWeighted,
and bitwise operations: #18466, #19233
- Other various static analysis and warning fixes
+ Documentation:
- [GSoC] Added TF/PyTorch classification conversion: #17604
- [GSoC] Added TF/PyTorch segmentation conversion: #17801
- [GSoC] Added TF/PyTorch detection model conversion: #18237
- Updated documentation to address Wide Universal Intrinsics
(WUI) SIMD API: #18952
