I looked all over of the site and from different sites, and found that the syntax were different for each for opencv 3.0
https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib/blob/master/modules/xfeatures2d/samples/surf_matcher.cpp
http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tutorials/features2d/feature_homography/feature_homography.html#feature-homography
http://answers.opencv.org/question/52001/how-to-compile-nonfree-module-in-opencv-30-beta/?answer=52002#post-id-52002
all these sites provide different syntax for instantiating surffeaturedetector.
I followed the homography tutorial but it was in 2.4. When i switched to 3.0 beta, i keep getting errors when i compiled. any guidance? thanks!
