* Support for Matx read/write by FileStorage
* Only empty filestorage read now produces default Matx. Split Matx IO test into smaller units. Test checks for exception thrown if reading a Mat into a Matx of different size.
* significantly reduced OpenCV binary size by disabling IPP calls in some OpenCV functions: Sobel, Scharr, medianBlur, GaussianBlur, filter2D, mean, meanStdDev, norm, sum, minMaxIdx, sort.
* re-enable IPP in norm, since it's much faster (without adding too much space overhead)
* Updated boxFilter implementations to use wide universal intrinsics
* boxFilter implementation moved to separate file
* Replaced ROUNDUP macro with roundUp() function
* 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
- initialize arithmetic dispatcher
- add new universal intrinsic v_absdiffs
- add new universal intrinsic v_pack_b
- add accumulate version of universal intrinsic v_round
- fix sse/avx2:uint8 multiplication overflow
- reimplement arithmetic, logic and comparison operations into wide universal intrinsics
with full support for all types
- reimplement IPP arithmetic, logic and comparison operations in a sperate file arithm_ipp.hpp
- avoid scalar multiplication if scaling factor eq 1 and use integer multiplication
- move C arithmetic operations to precomp.hpp and delete [arithm_simd|arithm_core].hpp
- add compatibility with new opencv4 divide policy
"as opposed to" is a phrase of opposed meaning distinguished from or in contrast with. e.g., "an approach that is theoretical as opposed to practical"
synonyms: in contrast with, as against, as contrasted with, rather than, instead of, as an alternative to
example: "we use only steam, as opposed to chemical products, to clean our house"
