Description

Hi,

I was trying to port an existing OpenCV code to the 3.0-beta but figured out that the function windowedMatchingMask() which was defined in modules/features2d/src/matchers.cpp in OpenCV 2.x no longer exists in OpenCV 3.

I think it was actually moved into the contrib repository's xfeatures2d module with the following commit:

commit d4a77fc42858fc3711e156115c76318d93b7ccb0
Author: Vadim Pisarevsky <[email protected]>
Date: Mon Aug 11 23:25:30 2014 +0400

added xfeatures2d (made of opencv/nonfree and a part of opencv/features2d)

But apparently the above commit didn't bring that function into opencv_contrib and commented out the single call to windowedMatchingMask():
modules/xfeatures2d/samples/video_homography.cpp: //Mat mask = windowedMatchingMask(test_kpts, train_kpts, 25, 25);

So maybe the function was dropped completely but I couldn't find any clue about this on Google.
