With all default opencv + opencv_contrib build (vs2013), it seems that the mentioned class is abstract.
Test code:
#include <opencv2\core.hpp>
#include <opencv2\features2d.hpp>
#include <opencv2\xfeatures2d\nonfree.hpp>
//the corresponding libraries are linked
int main()
{
cv::Mat m;
cv::xfeatures2d::SURF surf;
return 0;
}
Error:
Error 1 error C2259: 'cv::xfeatures2d::SURF' : cannot instantiate abstract class c:\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\xfeattest\xfeattest\main.cpp 8 1 xfeatTest

Any idea what the problem could be?
