I noticed that despite providing various Point, Rect and Size struct templates, the OpenCV Core C++ headers do not provide struct templates for line equations or line segments.
Are there proposals for adding these to the OpenCV Core C++ headers?
My understanding is that there are two kinds of line classes useful for OpenCV C++ users:
A line segment class, denoted by two endpoints. These endpoints are not necessarily confined by some arbitrary bounds (such as the size of the image, or the size of the screen).
A line equation class, written in the general form of
a*x + b*y + c == 0
. See: Linear equation (Wikipedia)
A third kind of line class, known as a "ray" (a line with one starting point and going into infinity in its direction), might be useful to some OpenCV users.
Is there any known impediments or objections that prevent a line class from being added into OpenCV C++ Core?
