OpenCV 2.4.2 Released

OpenCV 2.4.2 버전이 공개 되었다. 2.4.1버전이 공개된 지 불과 한 달밖에 지나지 않았다.
50여개의 버그 수정과 각각의 플랫폼을 위한 패키지도 공개 되었다. 이번 공개부터는 ios도 포함이 되었다.

 2.4.2 버전에서 수정된 사항 (http://code.opencv.org/projects/opencv/wiki/ChangeLog)

• Android package introduces a new service-based distribution model
  OpenCV Android Release notes
  • '.tar.bz2' format is changed to '.zip' because most of our users are Windows guys
  • all the samples changed to use the OpenCV Manager API, they don't keep OpenCV binaries inside
  • all the samples eclipse projects having JNI parts (face-detector, tutorial 3 and tutorial 4) contain CDT Builder configured for building the native libraries (look at the tutorials for details)
  • the OpenCV Manager and binary packages for armeabi, armeabi-v7a and x86 arch-s are available on Google Play Market and will be installed on the first use, but for devices without internet access or without Google Play Market (dev kits) we provided the necessary APKs in the OpenCV-2.4.2-android-sdk/apk folder
  • the tutorials are updated
• New keypoint descriptor FREAK has been contributed by EPFL group: Kirell Benzi, Raphael Ortiz, Alexandre Alahi and Pierre Vandergheynst. It's claimed to be superior to ORB and SURF descriptors, yet it's very fast (comparable to ORB). Please, see
• Improved face recognizer and excellent tutorial on using it has been added by Philipp Wagner. Check the face recognition tutorial.
• opencv2.framework for iOS has been created. You can either download the binary from SourceForge or build it yourself using the simple guide. Also, you may be interested to look at some OpenCV on iOS samples, created by our GSoC 2012 students Eduard and Charu: gsoc2012:source:/ios/trunk and read the slides of the tutorial: http://code.opencv.org/projects/gsoc2012/repository/entry/ios/trunk/doc/CVPR2012_OpenCV4IOS_Tutorial.pdf Another 50 bugs have been fixed since 2.4.1 release.
