| cv::CV_Assert() | Throw an exception if a given condition is not true 如果给定条件为假，则抛出异常 |
| CV_Error() | Macro to build a cv::Exception (from a fixed string) and throw it 构造cv::Exception（从固定的字符串）并抛出异常的一个宏 |
| CV_Error_() | Macro to build a cv::Exception (from a formatted string) and throw it 构造cv::Exception（从格式化的字符串）并抛出异常的一个宏 |
| cv::deallocate() | Deallocate a C-style array of objects 释放一个C风格的数组对象 |
| cv::error() | Indicate an error and throw an exception 指示错误并抛出异常 |
