There aren't many operations defined on the cv::Point2/3 data type

IS this deliberate? Am I supposed to convert everything to a cv::Mat? Or is there some technical reason?

I'm starting to build a library of; dot & cross product, length, isEmpty() etc but this seems like a duplication of effort

Sorry missed dot/cross. IIRC =/ and =* didn't work with a scaler. Normalize() and Length() would be useful as would an easy way of converting between cv Point3 and a row/column of a 3x3 Mat. I do a lot of 3D positioning !

Actually you have these functions for Points:

Point a, b;

//...

double dotProduct = a.dot(b);

double crossProduct = a.cross(b);

double length = norm(a);

What do you mean by isEmpty()? cv::Point always contain some data (e.g. zeros by default) so it cannot be empty.

Could you please provide more specific examples of missing functions?
