My OpenCV GUI application built in QT Creator 5.1 VSC2012 (64 bits) hangs at this contour line code - itc=contours.erase(itc). Here is the complete codeblock where this code line appears:

   vector<vector<Point> >::iterator itc= contours.begin();
   vector<RotatedRect> rects;
    //Remove patch that are no inside limits of aspect ratio and area.
    while (itc!=contours.end()) {
        //Create bounding rect of object
        RotatedRect mr= minAreaRect(Mat(*itc));
        if( !verifySizes(mr)){
            itc= contours.erase(itc);
            qDebug()<<"Hangs!!";
        }else{
            ++itc;
            rects.push_back(mr);
        }
    }

I want too know how can I modify the following code to train OCR to recognize 26 characters instead of 20 characters and storing that information in OCR.xml file.

Extra characters that are now included are: A,E,I,O,U,Q.

Also what are TrainingDataF5, TrainingDataF10, TrainingDataF15 and TrainingDataF20? What is their use? Do they work on same character image size of 20x20?

I'm trying to build an opencv project using cmake , but using both the GUI utility and the command line tool , but keep having the same error popping up.

CMake Warning at cmake/modules/FindOpenCV.cmake:160 (message):
  Found OpenCV 2.4.3 Windows Super Pack but it has not binaries compatible
  with your configuration.
      You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV library.
  Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:48 (FIND_PACKAGE)

Please help.

Thanks.for the help.

I want to know whether I should download Intel IPP 7.1 as it is available for only 30 days?
