# You must submit your winning code as an OpenCV pull request under a BSD or compatible license
## You acknowledge that your code may be included, with citation, in OpenCV

You may explicitly enter code for any work you have submitted to CVPR 2015 or its workshops. We will not unveil it until after CVPR.
