[Andrey Gursky]

Source: opencv
Version: 2.4.5+dfsg-0exp1
Severity: normal

Hi,

there is a "new" module in opencv: ocl, allowing using OpenCL. It is
introduced almost a year ago [1]:

2.4.3 (November 2012):
Technology-preview version of ocl - OpenCL-accelerated computer vision
algorithms, contributed by the Chinese Academy of Science

and it has been improved in consecutive releases:

2.4.4 (March 2013):
The openCL-based hardware acceleration (ocl) module is now mature,
and, with numerous bug fixes, it is largely bug-free.

2.4.5 (April 2013):
there are further improvements and extensions in ocl module:...

2.4.6 (July 2013):
Binary compatiblility with both OpenCL 1.1/1.2 platforms. Now the
binaries compiled with any of AMD/Intel/Nvidia's SDK can run on all
other platforms.

Please, consider packaging this module.

Thanks,
Andrey
