Parallelize implementation of HDR MergeMertens.
* Parallelize MergeMertens.
* Added performance tests for HDR.
* Ran clang-format.
* Optimizations.
* Fix data path for Windows.
* Remove compiiation warning on Windows.
* Remove clang-format for existing file.
* Addressing reviewer comments.
* Ensure correct summation order.
* Add test for determinism.
* Move result pyramid into sync struct.
* Reuse sync for first loop as well.
* Use OpenCV's threading primitives.
* Remove cout.
* Add HPX backend for OpenCV implementation
Adds hpx backend for cv::parallel_for_() calls respecting the nstripes chunking parameter. C++ code for the backend is added to modules/core/parallel.cpp. Also, the necessary changes to cmake files are introduced.
Backend can operate in 2 versions (selectable by cmake build option WITH_HPX_STARTSTOP): hpx (runtime always on) and hpx_startstop (start and stop the backend for each cv::parallel_for_() call)
* WIP: Conditionally include hpx_main.hpp to tests in core module
Header hpx_main.hpp is included to both core/perf/perf_main.cpp and core/test/test_main.cpp.
The changes to cmake files for linking hpx library to above mentioned test executalbles are proposed but have issues.
* Add coditional iclusion of hpx_main.hpp to cpp cpu modules
* Remove start/stop version of hpx backend
- removed tr1 usage (dropped in C++17)
- moved includes of vector/map/iostream/limits into ts.hpp
- require opencv_test + anonymous namespace (added compile check)
- fixed norm() usage (must be from cvtest::norm for checks) and other conflict functions
- added missing license headers
