I am using opencv 2.4.13 and I want to use SLIC

I googled OpenCV SLIC and I get to this page http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d3/da9/c...

Now it tells me I need to #include "slic.hpp" but I cant find it in my OpenCV folder. How do I find out where slic.hpp is located ? The website doesn't tell me anything.

If I google stereocalibrate, I get this http://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/modul... but again Im not sure what folder to include .

Is there a webpage / guide that tells me what folder I need to include if I want to use a specific function ?

sorry, but using opencv2.4, you just can't.

you will need to build (latest) opencv master branch and opencv_contrib

Is there a webpage / guide that tells me what folder I need to include ?

maybe it's easier to see from here , each module has its own header, in the case of SLIC you would #include "opencv2/ximgproc.hpp (which again includes slic.hpp)

also, please use http://docs.opencv.org/master/ for opencv3, docs.opencv.org/2.4.13/ for opencv2.4, and try to avoid anything from outdated 3.0.beta

It's areal problem that google ranks the opencv 2.4 doc higher than the up-to date documentation.

You can get an access to all the OpenCV documentation at: http://docs.opencv.org/.

That's definitely true and I know that. The thing is that a lot of devs just google for a problem or documentation - it's very convenient. For OpenCV, it's easy to stumble upon the outdated documentation.
