Vectorize minMaxIdx functions
* Updated documentation and intrinsic tests for v_reduce
* Add other files back in from the forced push
* Prevent an constant overflow with v_reduce for int8 type
* Another alternative to fix constant overflow warning.
* Fix another compiler warning.
* Update comments and change comparison form to be consistent with other vectorized loops.
* Change return type of v_reduce_min & max for v_uint8 and v_uint16 to be same as lane type.
* Cast v_reduce functions to int to avoid overflow. Reduce number of parameters in MINMAXIDX_REDUCE macro.
* Restore cast type for v_reduce_min & max to LaneType
* resize: HResizeLinear reduce duplicate work
There appears to be a 2x unroll of the HResizeLinear against k,
however the k value is only incremented by 1 during the unroll. This
results in k - 1 duplicate passes when k > 1.
Likewise, the final pass may not respect the work done by the vector
loop. Start it with the offset returned by the vector op if
implemented. Note, no vector ops are implemented today.
The performance is most noticable on a linear downscale. A set of
performance tests are added to characterize this. The performance
improvement is 10-50% depending on the scaling.
* imgproc: vectorize HResizeLinear
Performance is mostly gated by the gather operations
for x inputs.
Likewise, provide a 2x unroll against k, this reduces the
number of alpha gathers by 1/2 for larger k.
While not a 4x improvement, it still performs substantially
better under P9 for a 1.4x improvement. P8 baseline is
1.05-1.10x due to reduced VSX instruction set.
For float types, this results in a more modest
1.2x improvement.
* Update U8 processing for non-bitexact linear resize
* core: hal: vsx: improve v_load_expand_q
With a little help, we can do this quickly without gprs on
all VSX enabled targets.
* resize: Fix cn == 3 step per feedback
Per feedback, ensure we don't overrun. This was caught via the
failure observed in Test_TensorFlow.inception_accuracy.
* core: disable invalid constructors in C API by default
- C API objects will lose their default initializers through constructors
* samples: stop using of C API
Tests for argument conversion of Python bindings generator
* Tests for parsing elemental types from Python bindings
- Add positive and negative tests for int, float, double, size_t,
const char*, bool.
- Tests with wrong conversion behavior are skipped.
* Move implicit conversion of bool to integer/floating types to wrong
conversion behavior.
