I have some sample code which uses OpenCV (Java wrapper) to stitch 2 images together. It refers to a class "DescriptorExtractor" which is deprecated. I can't find any information in the official web documentation or the source-code about what I should use instead. I always get annoyed when something is deprecated and it doesn't tell you what you should use instead.
Can anyone help me?
I'm using OpenCV 3.4.1 with pre-built Windows libraries.
The official documentation for the class seems to be here.
The "FeatureDetector" class is likewise deprecated, likewise without any hint about what to use instead.
I agree that Deprecated annotation in Java should have come with a required parameter which would provide information about the successor of the deprecated element, if any.
In OpenCV version 3.4.5 (and maybe earlier) in C++ docs DescriptorExtractor is defined as a type alias for Feature2D (see here):
typedef Feature2D DescriptorExtractor
so I believe you should switch to org.opencv.features2d.Feature2D class in your Java code updating its usages as appropriate.
With OpenCV wrappers (including ones for Java and Python) and corresponding auto-generated documentation, it is usually hard to infer any usage information - it is a good idea to consult with C++ sources and documentation, which appears to be hand-written.
