* core, stitching: revise syntax to support Visual C++ 2013
* stitching: revise syntax again to support Visual C++ 2013 and other compilers
* stitching: minor update to clarify changes
Improve stitching detailed (#13584)
* Added block size getter/setters
* Added a bunch of new features to the stitching_detailed sample
* Do not required XFEATURES2D for default use
* Add support for akaze features in stitching_detailed
* Improved sample logs
* Python wrapper for detail
* hide pyrotationwrapper
* copy code in pyopencv_rotationwarper.hpp
* move ImageFeatures MatchInfo and CameraParams in core/misc/
* add python test for detail
* move test_detail in test_stitching
* rename
Stitching: added functions to set warp interpolation mode (#13449)
* Added functions to set warp interpolation mode
* Use InterpolationFlags enum
* Improved getter/setter naming
[evolution] Stitching for OpenCV 4.0
* stitching: wrap Stitcher::create for bindings
* provide method for consistent stitcher usage across languages
* samples: add python stitching sample
* port cpp stitching sample to python
* stitching: consolidate Stitcher create methods
* remove Stitcher::createDefault, it returns Stitcher, not Ptr<Stitcher> -> inconsistent API
* deprecate cv::createStitcher and cv::createStitcherScans in favor of Stitcher::create
* stitching: avoid anonymous enum in Stitcher
* ORIG_RESOL should be double
* add documentatiton
* stitching: improve documentation in Stitcher
* stitching: expose estimator in Stitcher
* remove ABI hack
* stitching: drop try_use_gpu flag
* OCL will be used automatically through T-API in OCL-enable paths
* CUDA won't be used unless user sets CUDA-enabled classes manually
* stitching: drop FeaturesFinder
* use Feature2D instead of FeaturesFinder
* interoperability with features2d module
* detach from dependency on xfeatures2d
* features2d: fix compute and detect to work with UMat vectors
* correctly pass UMats as UMats to allow OCL paths
* support vector of UMats as output arg
* stitching: use nearest interpolation for resizing masks
* fix warnings
- This is to accommodate the variabiilty in floating-point operations in new platforms/compilers
- Specifically due to the error margin found in NVIDIA Jetson TX2
* 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
