Hi,

I have installed the pre-compiled OpenCV 2.4.6 and CUDA 5.0 with latest graphics drivers.

While I call the getCudaEnabledDeviceCount() it returns 0 and I can not use its functions. However, when I ran the deviceQuery test I saw that I have a compatible graphics card and every thing is OK! (The code successfully runs with CPU functions)

I wonder why openCV can not access my Graphic Card?

Pre-compiled OpenCV binaries were built without CUDA support. It you want to use CUDA functionality you have to build OpenCV from sources.

Thanks guys, this sounds strange, why they did such a thing?!!

Because building them with CUDA support, for every possible architecture, leads to giant downloads in dll's and lib's. Also, depending on your system you could specify which architecture your card uses and built it only for that, which speeds up the build process.

Hmm... Thanks for the info @StevenPuttemans
