* Get/Set functions for BRISK parameters, issue #11527.
Allows setting threshold and octaves parameters after creating a brisk object. These parameters do not affect the initial pattern initialization and can be changed later without re-initialization.
* Fix doc parameter name.
* Brisk get/set functions tests. Check for correct value and make tests independent of default parameter values.
* Add dummy implementations for BRISK get/set functions not to break API in case someone has overloaded the Feature2d::BRISK interface. This makes BRISK different from the other detectors/descriptors on the other hand, where get/set functions are pure virtual in the interface.
[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
* integrated the new C++ persistence; removed old persistence; most of OpenCV compiles fine! the tests have not been run yet
* fixed multiple bugs in the new C++ persistence
* fixed raw size of the parsed empty sequences
* [temporarily] excluded obsolete applications traincascade and createsamples from build
* fixed several compiler warnings and multiple test failures
* undo changes in cocoa window rendering (that was fixed in another PR)
* fixed more compile warnings and the remaining test failures (hopefully)
* trying to fix the last little warning
fixes handling of empty matrices in some functions (#11634)
* a part of PR #11416 by Yuki Takehara
* moved the empty mat check in Mat::copyTo()
* fixed some test failures
