I'm recently trying to solve a problem which involves quadratic (semi-definite) programming in C++. since I sometimes use OpenCV library and I'm aware that SVM is indeed supported, I'm rather astonished that in this page: http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/modul... no stuff for solving QP pbs is provided. Am I wrong? How a SVM could be trained without using QP's methods? Many thanks for your kind answers. Guido

Thanks Lorena. I looked at the new opencv release doc you suggested but still there's no QP. thanks also for the link to the code, which is very interesting although indeed quite taylored on svm kind of 'Q matrices' and therefore not very useful for me.

First of all, you should visit the latest documentation instead of the rather old 3.0-beta one, because thing could have changed a lot.

Regarding your question, not every function and method is exposed on the library interface. There are many parts of the code that are kept internal for different reasons. If you are interested, you can check the solver method used by SVM algorithm here, although you probably will find no use of it out of its context.
