* 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.
Improving VSX performance of integral function
* Adding support for vector get function on VSX datatypes so the
integral function gains a bit of performance.
* Removing get as a datatype member function and implementing a new HAL
instruction v_extract_n to get the n-th element of a vector register.
* Adding SSE/NEON/AVX intrinsics.
* Implement new HAL instruction v_broadcast_element on VSX/AVX/NEON/SSE.
* core(simd): add tests for v_extract_n/v_broadcast_element
- updated docs
- commented out code to repair compilation
- added WASM and MSA default implementations
* core(simd): fix compilation
- x86: avoid _mm256_extract_epi64/32/16/8 with MSVS 2015
- x86: _mm_extract_epi64 is 64-bit only
* cleanup
- move TLS & instrumentation code out of core/utility.hpp
- (*) TLSData lost .gather() method (to dispose thread data on thread termination)
- use TLSDataAccumulator for reliable collecting of thread data
- prefer using of .detachData() + .cleanupDetachedData() instead of .gather() method
(*) API is broken: replace TLSData => TLSDataAccumulator if gather required
(objects disposal on threads termination is not available in accumulator mode)
Fixing bug with comparison of v_int64x2 or v_uint64x2
* Casting v_uint64x2 to v_float64x2 and comparing does NOT work in all cases. Rewrite using epi64 instructions - faster too.
* Fix bad merge.
* Fix equal comparsion for non-SSE4.1. Add test cases for v_int64x2 comparisons.
* Try to fix merge conflict.
* Only test v_int64x2 comparisons if CV_SIMD_64F
* Fix compiler warning.
* New v_reverse HAL intrinsic for reversing the ordering of a vector
* Fix conflict.
* Try to resolve conflict again.
* Try one more time.
* Add _MM_SHUFFLE. Remove non-vectorize code in SSE2. Fix copy and paste issue with NEON.
* Change v_uint16x8 SSE2 version to use shuffles
