According to the formula, opencv3 no longer requires these flags.

CMake flags

-DOPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE=ON
-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=#{buildpath}/opencv_contrib/modules

enable support for contrib modules.

-DBUILD_opencv_python2=ON
-DBUILD_opencv_python3=ON
-DPYTHON2_EXECUTABLE=#{which "python"}
-DPYTHON2_LIBRARY=#{py2_lib}/libpython2.7.dylib
-DPYTHON2_INCLUDE_DIR=#{py2_prefix}/include/python2.7
-DPYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=#{which "python3"}
-DPYTHON3_LIBRARY=#{py3_config}/libpython#{py3_version}.dylib
-DPYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR=#{py3_include}

provide support for Python3 as well as Python2.

Just run

brew install opencv3
