Does anyone know if there’s an official roadmap for OpenCV 5? It’s been half a year since the release of the OpenCV 5 alpha. I’m interested in what’s planned for the next release - any updates, features, or expected timelines would be helpful. Please let me know if you have a source or insight! ---

The blog has some articles, but nobody said anything about it (that was tagged…) for over a year. [opencv 5 Archives - OpenCV](https://opencv.org/blog/tag/opencv-5/) The wiki on the github is for planning. It also hasn’t been touched in a while (Nov 2024). [OE 5. OpenCV 5 · opencv/opencv Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/wiki/OE-5.-OpenCV-5) The github has _milestones_. `5.0-alpha` has been completed. `5.0-release` is at 24%. We’re most likely to get a 4.12 next… and a 4.13 too, maybe. [GitHub · Where software is built](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/milestones) ---

Thank you for sharing the information. I’ve looked into this a few times myself, but there haven’t been any updates for such a long time. I even supported OpenCV 5 on Indiegogo, yet I haven’t received any updates. ---

OpenCV 5 is many years late. Here is a quote from one of their old announcements: “In 2020, OpenCV 5.0 is coming out with an emphasis on deep learning and better performance on lower-power computing platforms. The other OpenCV 5.0 highlights are: Julia and Swift bindings, new 3D vision algorithms with elements of SLAM” ---

wonder will there be windows on arm support? ---

I don’t know. there might _already_ be. there is “normal” Windows support and there is various ARM support. I would not be surprised if you didn’t have to do anything special right now. MSVC _should_ just compile the code like nothing’s different. ARM is little-endian by default (but switchable), which is the same as x86-64. I don’t know if the OpenCL stuff needs work, probably not though. assembly code paths might need work. I keep hearing about work on universal intrinsics and somesuch, in OpenCV. they do that to more easily support arbitrary platforms. this might directly benefit ARM Windows. some somewhat historical links (from around 2022): - [Is OpenCV compilable for Windows on Arm?](https://forum.opencv.org/t/is-opencv-compilable-for-windows-on-arm/9063) - [OpenCV 4.6.0 Is Now Available! - OpenCV](https://opencv.org/blog/opencv-4-6-0/) has the [“windows for ARM” tag](https://opencv.org/blog/tag/windows-for-arm/) - [OpenCV and Compilers for Windows on Arm | Arm Learning Paths](https://learn.arm.com/learning-paths/laptops-and-desktops/win-opencv/1-opencv-compilers/) (talking about opencv 4.10)
