I see that there are two branches for OpenCV 4.x and 3.x What are the differences between them ? and where to use any of them

now i'm try to install OpenVino , one of prerequists is OpenCV 3.3 or higher , is that mean i can use 3.X or 4.X

the higher is always better for beginning.

OpenCV 4.x is the current development branch.

OpenCV 3.x is bugfix only branch. New features should go to OpenCV 3.x.

Have a look at this wiki.

Also OpenCV 4.x needs C++11 and has new developments like G-API module or CUDA DNN features.

In short, you better use OpenCV 4.x. Especially since potentially future OpenVINO releases would require OpenCV 4.x.
