* port new_arithm to Linux/x86: dispatch guards, scalar-Mat compat fallback, dnn shape-contract fixes
Core:
- arithm.simd.hpp: CV_CPU_OPTIMIZATION_DECLARATIONS_ONLY guards (the file is included
once per dispatched mode on x86), vx_load_expand instead of the 128-bit v_load_expand,
VTraits::vlanes() instead of ::nlanes
- arithm.cpp/precomp.hpp: compat fallback for scalar-like Mat operands (1x1, 1xcn/cnx1,
4x1 CV_64F - java/python tuples, operator-(Mat, Matx)): treated as a per-channel scalar
ONLY when the shapes are not broadcast-compatible, so every valid numpy-style broadcast
keeps its meaning and calls that would otherwise throw get the 4.x semantics
DNN (fallout of the stricter shape semantics, found by the new engine):
- dict.hpp: DictValue relied on fresh AutoBuffer having size()==fixed_size; allocate explicitly
- batch_norm: weights_/bias_ are 1-D [n] now; 0/1-D forward runs on exact-shape 1-D views
- net_impl2: extend the post-forward sanity check to non-temp outputs - a layer that
reallocates its preallocated output tensor now fails loudly instead of silently
detaching the result from the graph
- LSTM/LSTM2 batchwise (layout=1): getMemoryShapes now matches what forward() writes
(ONNX: Y=(batch,seq,dirs,hid), Yh/Yc=(batch,dirs,hid)); forward assembles seq-major
results in a local buffer and transposes INTO the preallocated outputs in place

* u8/s8 multiply: exact integer SIMD path on non-FP16 builds (3-10x vs 5.x)
The unit-scale branch of vecBinaryKernel already supported a separate work-vector
type Wvec1 (used by the ARM f16 build and by u16/s16 everywhere), but on x86 the
u8/s8 same-type multiply still went through the f32 hub. Route it through
v_uint16/v_int16: products of 8-bit values fit exactly (255^2 < 2^16), the
saturating pack on store gives bit-exact results at half the vector traffic.
Also fix a latent kernel bug this exposed: the unit-scale branch stepped by
Wvec's lane count while loading/storing Wvec1 vectors. All previous Wvec1
instantiations had equal lane counts, but u8's v_uint16 has 2x the lanes of
v_float32 - the pairs overlapped (50% redundant work) and the tail backoff
could write VECSZ bytes past the row end. The branch now derives its step,
offsets and tail condition from Wvec1 itself.

* vecBinaryKernel: constexpr Op::useScalar instead of a runtime-only scale check
Every binary op functor now declares whether it consumes the scale scalar
(params[0]): true only for mul and the two div variants. Ops that ignore it
(add/sub/min/max/absdiff) take the fast 2-arg branch unconditionally - the
'scalar == 1' check used to fail for them (their params[0] is 0), sending them
through the preproc branch, and the condition now folds at compile time.

* restore cv::hal::mul8u as a wrapper over the element-wise engine
The symbol is still declared in core/hal/hal.hpp and called directly by external
code (the G-API fluid backend in opencv_contrib), but its implementation went
away with the old arithm kernels. Forward it to getMulFunc(CV_8U, CV_8U) - with
scale==1 it lands on the new exact integer SIMD path.

- arithm.cpp: bitwise_op_ocl and the actualScalarDepth/coerceTypes helpers are
consumed only by the OpenCL paths - guard them with HAVE_OPENCL; haveScalar in
cv::compare is read only inside CV_OCL_RUN - CV_UNUSED for OpenCL-less builds
- arithm_expr.hpp: declare getBitwiseFunc/getNotFunc/getAddWeightedFunc next to
the other per-op entry points (-Wmissing-prototypes in arithm.dispatch.cpp)
- arithm.simd.hpp: define CV_SIMD_16F to 0 when FP16 SIMD is absent (-Wundef);

* restore 4.x scalar semantics for the bindings' 4x1 CV_64F Scalar columns
The python/java bindings materialize numbers and tuples as a 2-D 4x1 CV_64F
Mat - or UMat, when the call carries UMat arguments. Three CI-reported python
failures came from those pseudo-scalars reaching the engine as arrays:
- absdiff(int_arr, 0): the (4,1) column is broadcast-COMPATIBLE with a 1-D
array, so numpy semantics silently won - an outer-product f64 result instead
of the int per-channel-scalar one;
- subtract(u8 4x8x4, (40,)): same, by the rows==4 coincidence;
- multiply(UMat, 2., dst=UMat): the scalar arrives as a UMAT, which the
scalar detection did not recognize at all.
isScalarArg now treats the exact bindings shape - 2-D 4x1 CV_64F single-channel
Mat/UMat against a <=4-channel array - as a scalar UNCONDITIONALLY (a 1-D [4]
array has dims==1 and still broadcasts). One exception, decided in arithm_op:
when the partner is itself a tiny scalar-shaped array, both are honest data and
ride the broadcast (compare(Mat 4x1, Mat 1x1) - issue #8999 - stays elementwise).
Small-array discipline, this all runs per engine call: the probes read Mat/UMat
fields directly (rows == 4 alone rejects almost everything, no _InputArray
getter dispatch), and a UMAT scalar's 32 bytes are copied into a caller-stack
buffer - no heap, no getMat mapping. Measured: no latency change on 4x4/16x16
element-wise calls.

* cv::texpr: std::string_view -> const std::string& in the public API
string_view in an exported signature breaks some CUDA toolchain builds, and for
short expression strings the difference is immaterial (SSO, parsed once). The
parser internals keep string_view - the argument converts implicitly. Also drop
the now-unused <string_view> include from cvstd.hpp, so the header does not
reach every nvcc TU.

* compare boundary-rewrite: fixed 4-slot kind/bound arrays instead of AutoBuffers
A CONST operand is capped at 4 channels (addConst), so the per-channel
kind/bound staging needs no dynamic buffers - plain int[4]/double[4], with a
CV_Assert on the contract. This is also what gcc's -Wmaybe-uninitialized was
flagging (it could not see the AutoBuffer's inline storage get filled).

* element-wise engine: unary math kernels (sqrt/exp/log/sin/cos/tanh/erf/relu) + select
New dispatched pair math.simd.hpp / math.dispatch.cpp - the unary/ternary sibling
of arithm.simd.hpp:
- vecUnaryKernel: T -> T over f16/bf16/f32/f64 on top of the intrin_math
primitives (v_exp/v_log/v_sin/v_cos/v_sqrt/v_erf/v_max). f32/f64 compute
natively, f16/bf16 ride the f32 hub inside the kernel (vx_load_pair_as /
v_store_pair_as) - no materialized casts. Continuity collapse + the halide
right-edge backoff, suppressed in-place (it would re-apply Op to
already-written values). tanh = (e^2x-1)/(e^2x+1) with the input clamped to
+/-10 (f32) / +/-20 (f64) - unclamped saturation hits inf/inf = NaN. erf has
no f64 SIMD primitive: std::erf per lane.
- selectKernel(mask, x, y): 1-byte mask expanded to lane width and tested
against zero in the INTEGER domain (immune to DAZ/FTZ), branches of any
depth by element size, broadcast branches supported.
- emitUnary: math over a float input is T -> T now (f16 in -> f16 out, native
kernel when input and result depths match); integer inputs still compute in
the float domain and land in f32.
- emitTernary/select: literal branches are typed via typedConstFrom (an
OP_CAST of a depth-less flex const crashed); a non-1-byte mask is normalized
by an explicit "mask != 0" compare, never a value cast.
texpr already parsed the function names - they now execute. Tests: per-depth
accuracy of all 8 ops against the double std:: reference, integer input,
in-place, select over 4 depths / const branch / float mask.
Perf vs the classic kernels (1920x1080 f32, 16 threads, AVX2): exp 3.7x,
log 2.6x, sqrt 5.7x faster; polarToCart expressed as (r*cos(a), r*sin(a)) 4.0x.
Accuracy improves too (max rel err vs f64 reference): exp 8.1e-8 vs 2.1e-7,
log 8.0e-8 vs 1.5e-7.

* engine: OP_COPY_MASK folded into OP_SELECT; selectKernel moved to arithm.simd.hpp
copyMask(dst, mask, src) is select(mask, src, dst) - one masking primitive
instead of two. The compiler emits the masked-op tail as
addInsn(OP_SELECT, mask, r, out, out): the output slot rides as both arg2 and
the result, so unmasked elements are preserved by reading them back through
the b-branch. OP_COPY_MASK, copyMaskKernel and getCopyMaskFunc are gone.
selectKernel (moved from math.simd.hpp to arithm.simd.hpp) inherits every
copyMaskKernel optimization:
- the interleaved multichannel fast path (2..4 channels under a per-pixel
mask: expand the mask once per VECSZ rows, v_store_interleave across lanes);
- the per-row scalar path with the row-skip when the selected source row IS
dst (the "leave the output untouched" half of copyMask);
- plus the select-specific ones: branch broadcasts (stepx == 0) and the
right-edge tail backoff under dst-aliases-a-branch - safe because re-running
select over already-blended elements is idempotent; only dst == mask keeps
the backoff off (the store would rewrite mask bytes before the re-read).
Masked-add perf is on par with the old copyMask (1280x720, 1 thread: 8UC3
204 -> 198 us, 32FC3 1395 -> 1344, 8UC1/32FC1 within noise). Full core suite
24117 green.

* engine: dedicated vectorized pow kernel (moved from arithm to math.simd.hpp)
pow was the last scalar-only binary op (scalarBinaryKernel + std::pow, f32/f64
only). The new powKernel keeps exact std::pow semantics and is T x T -> T over
all four float depths (f16/bf16 via the f32 hub):
- scalar exponent (the dominant call shape - texpr literals ride as 0-dim
broadcast consts) is dispatched PER ROW to the special cases:
y==2 -> x*x, y==3 -> x*x*x, y==0.5 -> v_sqrt, y==1 -> copy, y==0 -> fill 1;
- everything else - including a per-element exponent array - runs the general
vectorized exp(y * log(x)) path, valid for x > 0; a vector pair containing
any x <= 0 lane falls back to scalar std::pow for that pair (v_check_any),
which preserves every std::pow subtlety: signed results for integer y on
negative bases, NaN for fractional y, the x == 0 family;
- no right-edge tail backoff: pow is not idempotent, in-place calls finish
rows in the scalar tail.
Perf vs the classic cv::pow (1920x1080 f32, 16 threads, AVX2): p=2 1.4x
(classic special-cases it too), p=3 6.1x, p=0.5 6.3x, fractional p 4.5x with
slightly better accuracy (6.1e-7 vs 7.4e-7 max rel err). Tests: exponent
sweep 2/3/0.5/1/0/2.5/-1.5 vs the double std::pow reference on f32/f64,
negative bases (exact signed cubes, NaN for fractional), array exponent.

* powKernel: halide right-edge tail backoff in every SIMD loop
Same shape as vecBinaryKernel: the final partial vector re-processes
[width - VECSZ*2, width) instead of finishing scalar, suppressed when dst
aliases an input (pow is not idempotent - the overlap region must be
recomputed from an untouched source, which the no-alias case guarantees).
Modest measured win (~2% on ROI rows for the special-cased exponents; the
general path tail was already cheap - modern libm powf is fast), no
regressions; mainly aligns the kernel with the house style, where every
SIMD loop ends vector-wide.

* fix MSVC 2019 C2975: function-local constexpr as a template argument inside a lambda
MSVC 2019 loses the constexpr-ness of function-local constants (LOCAL_OPS,
MAX_DIMS, ...) when they are used as template arguments inside a lambda body
(AutoBuffer<Slice, LOCAL_OPS> / std::array<int, MAX_DIMS> in the parallel
bodies of BroadcastOp::run and TExpr::exec). Hoist them to namespace scope -
no behavior change.

* ocl_arithm_op: route 16U multiply to the CPU engine on Apple OpenCL
The Apple OpenCL driver miscompiles the 16U multiply kernel: products near
the top of the u16 range come back wrapped instead of saturated (CPU vs GPU
NORM_INF up to 65535 in OCL_Arithm/Mul.Mat CV_16U cases). The same arithm.cl
kernel is correct on Intel NEO and NVIDIA drivers - verified not to reproduce
on Linux/Intel iGPU - so gate the decline to __APPLE__ only; the CPU engine
computes 16u multiply exactly (integer SIMD path).

* engine: neg/abs as compositions, clamp kernel, ** and ?: operators, abs(a-b) peephole
- OP_NEG and OP_ABS need no kernels: neg = sub(0, a), abs = absdiff(a, 0) -
including the engine absdiff auto-type rule (signed |a| lands in the
UNSIGNED type of the same width: |SHRT_MIN| fits u16 exactly instead of
saturating; NB the public cv::absdiff auto depth keeps the source type for
4.x compatibility - values agree, the depth rule is the engine own).
- peephole: abs(x - y) rewrites to absdiff(x, y) ALWAYS. On integers the
literal semantics differ (the subtract saturates first: u8 gives
max(x-y, 0)), but whoever writes abs(a - b) means absdiff - we deliberately
hand out the useful semantics instead of the saturation artifact. The just-
emitted OP_SUB is retired via the moveToOutput manoeuvre, so the program
shrinks to the single absdiff instruction. abs(x), abs(x - 0) and
absdiff(x, 0) all give one result.
- OP_CLAMP kernel (arithm.simd.hpp): v_min(v_max(x, lo), hi) over
u8/s8/u16/s16/u32/s32/f32 (+f64 with 64-bit SIMD), scalar f16/bf16/64-bit
ints; lo/hi may broadcast (the common clamp(img, a, b) shape) or be full
arrays; the tail backoff stays on under dst-aliases-x (clamp is idempotent).
emitTernary types literal bounds via typedConstFrom (same flex-const crash
select had) and keeps the auto result type pinned to x.
- parser: "a ** b" == pow(a, b), precedence above * /, RIGHT-associative
(a ** 2 ** 3 == a ** 8); "cond ? a : b" == select(cond, a, b), precedence
below everything, right-associative chains (f1 ? a : f2 ? b : c) work
without parentheses. parseTernary() is the expression entry point now.

* cv::exp/log/sqrt on the engine via math_op; hal functions wrapped as engine kernels
math_op is the master function of the unary math family (the arithm_op
analogue): same-shape same-type output over f16/bf16/f32/f64 (classic
exp/log accepted f32/f64 only - the half floats are new), two tiers:
- small (<= 100000 elements) and continuous: call the kernel DIRECTLY over
the flattened data - no TExpr, no broadcastOp, no parallel_for setup;
- everything else: the usual single-instruction program via compile()/exec()
(parallelism for large arrays, real steps for ROIs).
getMathFunc routes OP_EXP/OP_LOG at f32/f64 through the full cv::hal stack -
an external vendor HAL (CALL_HAL), IPP, or the built-in table kernels,
whichever is installed - by wrapping hal::exp32f/exp64f/log32f/log64f as
engine kernels with the function pointer in TKernel::userdata, the same
mechanism castKernel uses for core BinaryFuncs. The engine adds tiling and
parallelism on top, so every tier gets the best available scalar-span
implementation. v_exp/v_log remain for f16/bf16 (the f32 hub) and the ops
hal has no entry points for.
v_log_default_32f: the degree-8 polynomial is evaluated by Estrin pairing
(4 dependent levels) instead of an 8-FMA Horner chain (~5% on the f16 hub
path). An exp64 Taylor-without-division rewrite was tried and benched SLOWER
than the Cephes Pade scheme (the evaluation is FMA-throughput-bound, and
vdivpd pipelines well enough) - reverted; a table-based reduction is the only
way further there.
cv::exp f32 (16 threads, AVX2+IPP build), old -> new: 640 elements
0.16 -> 0.15 us, 16k 2.79 -> 2.49, 640x480 47 -> 20, 1920x1080 452 -> 60 us
(the old CPU loops were single-threaded); f64 exp 1080p 1295 -> 161 us.
No size regresses; small arrays now run at installed-HAL speed.

* getMathFunc: IPP tier + raw-HAL probing; the exp/log table kernels are deleted
The raw cv_hal_* entry points return int for a reason: without an installed
HAL they are stubs returning CV_HAL_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. getMathFunc now
selects the exp/log implementation in three tiers:
1. HAVE_IPP && ipp::useIPP(): ippsExp/ippsLn through thin int adapters (IPP
is not routed through the cv_hal_ hooks, so it needs its own tier);
2. the raw cv_hal_exp32f/... hook, PROBED once with a 1-element call on the
safe input 1.0 (cached in magic statics): implemented -> wrapped as an
engine kernel with the function pointer in TKernel::userdata;
3. the engine own v_exp/v_log kernels.
Whichever wins, the engine adds tiling and parallelism on top.
The EXPTAB/LOGTAB table kernels and their tables (~790 lines in
mathfuncs_core.simd.hpp + mathfuncs.cpp) are DELETED: they benched within
~15% of v_exp/v_log, not worth a second implementation. The public
cv::hal::exp32f/exp64f/log32f/log64f keep their contract - CALL_HAL, then
IPP, then the built-in implementation - but the built-in is now the engine
vector kernel via ew::mathSpanEngine (one contiguous span, exported from
math.dispatch.cpp).
All unary math kernels (vec/scalar/hal wrappers, pow) also handle the
vertical-broadcast tile (s0y == 0, a row expanded into a matrix): the first
row is computed, the rest are memcpy of it - transcendentals cost far more
than a row copy.

* texpr: hypot(x, y) binary op (alias: mag)
hypot = sqrt(x^2 + y^2), NAIVE like cv::magnitude (not the overflow-safe
std::hypot), computed in the float work type; kernels for the four float
depths only (T x T -> T; integer inputs ride the usual f32-compute + cast).
A 10-line EwHypot functor on top of vecBinaryKernel in arithm.simd.hpp -
broadcast branches, continuity collapse and the tail backoff come for free.
Registered in the parser as both "hypot" (the C/numpy name) and "mag" (the
cv::magnitude-flavored alias). A building block for the future cartToPolar.

* texpr: atan2(y, x) binary op - radians, standard C range
v_atan2 (arithm.simd.hpp, generic over the universal-intrinsic float vector):
the fastAtan2 minimax polynomial from mathfuncs_core v_atan_f32 reworked to
plain radians - the 180/pi factor dropped from the coefficients and the C
quadrant logic instead of the [0, 360) wrap, so the result matches std::atan2
over (-pi, pi]. Measured absolute accuracy ~1.6e-4 rad. (v_atan_f32 itself is
untouched - cv::phase/fastAtan2 keep their degree semantics.)
EwAtan2 rides vecBinaryKernel: f16/bf16/f32 through v_atan2 (the f32 hub),
f64 through exact scalar std::atan2. arg0 = y, arg1 = x, like std::atan2;
float depths only, same emitBinary policy as pow/hypot. Parser name "atan2".
Together with hypot this completes the cartToPolar building blocks.

* fix the RISC-V RVV build and two ARM64 warnings
The new f64 kernel registrations (hypot, pow, the unary math family) gate on
CV_SIMD_64F || CV_SIMD_SCALABLE_64F, but the vx_setall_as(const double*,
v_float64&) helper family in arithm.simd.hpp was still CV_SIMD_64F-only -
scalable platforms (RVV) have v_float64 with CV_SIMD_64F == 0, so
vecBinaryKernel<double, ...> failed to instantiate there. Widen the helper
gate to match (verified with a riscv64 rv64gcv cross-build of opencv_core -
the engine f64 paths now vectorize on RVV instead of not compiling).
cv::exp/cv::log: the depth local is consumed by CV_OCL_RUN only - CV_UNUSED
for OpenCL-less builds (ARM64 -Wunused-variable).

* silence the remaining ARM64 gcc warnings

- cv::exp/log: [[maybe_unused]] on the depth local (consumed by CV_OCL_RUN
only), instead of the CV_UNUSED idiom;
- AutoBuffer::reserve: a targeted -Wmaybe-uninitialized suppression around
the live-element copy loop - only [0, sz) is read, all written before, but
gcc inlining a grow-from-inline-storage chain cannot see that. An

* saturating 32-bit add/sub kernels; cv::texpr python binding; two CI warnings
- v_add_sat/v_sub_sat for v_int32/v_uint32, local to arithm.simd.hpp for now
(the plan is to grow them into proper universal intrinsics later): NEON
single-instruction vqadd/vqsub, elsewhere the Hacker Delight bit tricks
over universal intrinsics (u32 add is 2 ops: or with the wrapped-compare
mask). EwAdd/EwSub overload vec() for the 32-bit lanes and getAddSubFunc
routes 32S/32U T->T through vecBinaryKernel instead of the former pure
scalar kernel. Semantics unchanged - the scalar int64 tail already
saturated; directed boundary tests added (both rails, 0 - INT_MIN, u32
cases, a full-range random block vs an exact int64 reference).
640x480 32S add: 0.48x of 5.x -> parity (memory-bound); 1080p: 6-8x.
- cv::texpr becomes CV_EXPORTS_W: python gets cv.texpr(expr, [inputs]) ->
tuple of ndarrays, so `res, = cv.texpr(...)` and `mag, ang = cv.texpr(...)`
unpacking both work. modules/python/test/test_expr.py covers arithmetic,
the fused abs(a-b), casts, broadcasting, ?: and ** operators, math
functions vs numpy, clamp, named temporaries, tuple outputs, the one-line
cartToPolar and the int32 saturation cases.
- warnings: {}-init the parser args array (gcc -Wmaybe-uninitialized on
Ubuntu 20/22); the compare short-row block gates sizeof(T) <= 4 as
constexpr so the f64 instantiation does not leave set-but-unused locals
(gcc 9 -Wunused-but-set-variable).

* arithm_op: direct-kernel fast path for small continuous arrays
Building and compiling the 1-instruction program plus the BroadcastOp setup
costs ~40-250ns per call - negligible on big images, dominant at 127x61-class
sizes where the classic 5.x functions were 1.3-2x faster. Mirror math_op two
tiers in arithm_op: two same-type same-shape continuous arrays, no mask, no
scalar, result depth == input depth, <= 100k elements -> call the T x T -> T
kernel directly over the flattened elements (checks ordered cheapest-first).
Applies to add/subtract/min/max/absdiff/multiply/addWeighted/and/or/xor;
compare and divide lower to more than a single kernel (boundary rewrites, int
guards) and keep the ordinary path. addWeighted falls through automatically
for the 32/64-bit int types whose lowering is wide-compute + cast
(getElemwiseFunc returns no direct kernel there).
127x61 vs 5.x, was -> now: add/subtract 8UC1 0.76x -> 1.3x, min/max u8
0.6x -> ~1x, addWeighted 1.0x -> 1.1-1.4x (32SC1 stays 4.5x); the one
remaining laggard is add/sub 32SC1 (0.74-0.82x) - the price of the new
SATURATING semantics (7-instruction AVX2 emulation vs the wrapping single
add of 5.x; single-instruction on NEON).
The 127x61 size is ADDED PERMANENTLY to the arithmetic/addWeighted/compare
perf grids: per-call overhead regressions in these base functions must be
caught by CI, not discovered by users.
dst creation goes through createSameSize (whole-shape transfer including
layout and future metadata, not piecemeal dims+sizes) here and in math_op.

* cv::pow rebuilt on the engine; integer-exponent and 1/sqrt(x) kernel branches
Routing: p = 0/1/2 keep their early special cases (fill/copy/multiply); an
INTEGER array with an INTEGER power keeps the classic iPow multiply chain -
bit-exact compatibility, including its wrap-around quirks (iPow squares in
int, so e.g. pow(255,4) on u8 wraps negative and saturates to 0 - somebody
may rely on that). Everything else goes through the engine with the math_op
two-tier scheme: small continuous arrays call powKernel directly (the
exponent rides as a broadcast T scalar), the rest run the tiled parallel
program. Integer arrays with fractional powers compute in the float domain
and saturate back; the 32U/64-bit depths (classic iPow asserted on them) and
f16/bf16 (the classic float path misread them) now just work.
powKernel gets two new per-row exponent branches:
- p == -0.5: 1/v_sqrt(x) (the classic path used IPP ippsInvSqrt_A21, a
21-bit approximation; ours is exact - slightly slower on small arrays,
4.5x faster at 1080p via parallelism);
- any other INTEGER p (|p| <= 65536): LSB-first binary exponentiation, the
same multiply chain and order as iPow, fully vectorized - a few ulp
accurate vs ~2e-7 of exp(p*log x), and exact on non-positive bases (the
sign falls out of the multiplies, 0^negative divides to inf) - no scalar
patching.
cv::pow f32 vs 5.x: p=0.5 365 -> 61 us at 1080p (6x), p=3 7.7x, p=5 7x AND
faster at every size (the old scalar chain: 0.81 -> 0.47 us at 127x61),
p=2.5 5.3x. The s16^5 iPow path is untouched (118.7 == 118.5 us).
pow_exponents accuracy tests extended to 11 exponents x f32/f64 against the
double std::pow reference.

* perf: SANITY_CHECK_NOTHING for the tests whose grids got the 127x61 size
The 127x61 entry added to guard per-call overhead has no regression data in
opencv_extra, so the legacy SANITY_CHECK in addWeighted/compare failed on CI
(locally it passes silently without the test-data path). Accuracy of both
functions is covered by the accuracy suite; the perf tests should measure
time. PatchNaNs/finiteMask keep their SANITY_CHECK - their grids are
untouched.

* fix a temp-buffer double release in the liveness pass ("d*d" crash)
When the same temp is passed as SEVERAL arguments of its last-use
instruction (e.g. the named-intermediate expression "d = {0} - {1}; d*d",
where the MUL consumes slot d twice), the buffer-reuse scan pushed the
temp's physical buffer onto the free list once per argument. That
overflows the ntemps-sized freeBufs array (caught by the AutoBuffer range
check in Debug: python test_expr.py::test_named_temporary) and, in larger
programs, would hand the same physical buffer to two live temps.
Release the buffer once by retiring lastUse[t] after the first hit.

* executor: recalibrate opCost to vectorized cycles + clamp the stripe count
The per-element op costs fed into the parallel_for_ stripe hint were
scalar-era estimates (~20x above the vectorized reality: the atan2/exp
polynomials run at ~1.5 cycles/element, not 30). The hint therefore split
transcendental/divide work into hundreds of ~1 us jobs, which the
macOS/GCD backend dispatches poorly under sustained load, on top of the
P/E-core equal-share straggler effect. Measured on M4 Max (12P+4E),
sustained medians @1920x1080 f32: texpr atan2 320 -> 133 us, cv::exp
280 -> 141 us, cv::log 301 -> ~200 us, cv::pow(x,2.5) 388 -> 376 us;
the PR tables' math rows improved ~1.5-2x across the board.
- opCost is now in units of ~1/4 cycle/element of the SIMD kernels:
cheap ops 1 (unchanged), div/sqrt/hypot/convert_scale 10 -> 3,
transcendentals 30 -> 6.
- the stripe hint is clamped by min(4*nthreads, max(32, 3*nthreads)):
~4 stripes/thread is plenty of granularity for element-wise work, and
the ceiling is 32 pieces except on machines with many (heterogeneous)
cores, where anything coarser than ~3 pieces/worker turns the slow
cores into equal-share bottlenecks (measured: 32 stripes on 16 threads
is the worst point of the curve - 193 us vs 137 us at 48 for atan2).
getNumThreads() is clamped from below (WINRT/plugin backends may
report 0).
Not addressed here (needs cross-machine data, M2/M3 Ultra): streaming
memory-bound ops saturate the M4 Max fabric at ~8 fat stripes and E-core
participation only adds contention - a cost model cannot express that;
candidate follow-up is a bytes-aware clamp or a GCD-backend-level fix.

* multiply: v_mul_sat integer kernels (full product clamped to the type)
v_mul_sat(V, V) -> V for u8/s8/u16/s16/u32/s32 - the full-precision
product clamped to the lane type, which is exactly cv::multiply's integer
semantics at scale == 1. Local to arithm.simd.hpp for now, next to
v_add_sat/v_sub_sat, to be promoted into proper universal intrinsics
later. NEON: widening vmull + saturating narrow (vqmovn); other backends:
the portable v_mul_expand + saturating v_pack composition for 8/16-bit
lanes. 32-bit lanes have no universal widening multiply (no v_mul_expand
for s32), so the 32-bit integer fast path is NEON-only for now and the
other backends keep the previous f64 work-vector kernels (which measure
well on x86 with IPP-free AVX2).
EwMul::vec() now routes the integer lane types through v_mul_sat, and
getMulFunc_ passes the NATIVE lane vector as the scale==1 fast-path type:
whole-register loads/stores, the widening happens inside the multiply.
Replaces both the half-register widening loads (u8/s8/u16/s16) and the
scalar-equivalent f64 path for 32S/32U on NEON.
M4 Max, 640x480 (the sizes where the old kernels lost to carotene):
8U 22.0 -> 13.6 us, 8S 15.0 -> 11.1, 16S 21.2 -> 17.4, 32S 84.8 -> 30.5
(parity with the classic path everywhere, 32S was 0.38x). 1920x1080:
8S 1.30x -> 1.78x, 16S 2.57x -> 2.98x, 32S 2.20x -> 4.02x vs 5.x.
Correctness: exhaustive 8-bit (all 65536 pairs per sign), directed
saturation corners for 16/32-bit (46341^2, INT_MIN*-1, 65536*65536, all
sign combinations) against an exact int64 reference.

* NEON: make v_cvt_f64(v_int32) exact (was via f32, losing bits > 2^24)
The NEON implementations of v_cvt_f64/v_cvt_f64_high for v_int32 did
s32 -> f32 -> f64 (vcvt_f32_s32 + vcvt_f64_f32), silently rounding any
|x| > 2^24. Every vectorized f64 work path with int32 inputs on AArch64
was affected: the engine's addWeighted/divide 32S kernels, convertTo
32S -> 64F, etc. Found via addWeighted 32SC1 on values ~1e9: max error
was 32 vs the exact double reference (the classic carotene path is worse
still - it computes in f32 end-to-end with f32-truncated weights, max
error 96 on the same data).
The exact sequence sxtl + scvtf (vmovl_s32 + vcvtq_f64_s64) is the same
2 instructions, so there is no cost. addWeighted 32SC1 on the engine now
matches the exact-double reference bit-for-bit and stays at parity/1.4x
vs the classic path (640x480/1920x1080).
Pre-existing upstream bug (same code in 4.x) - worth a standalone
backport with directed large-value tests.

* math_op: drop the temporary direct-IPP tier for exp/log
Upstream moved the IPP math wrappers into the hal/ipp HAL module (cv_hal_exp32f/
log32f & co now resolve to ipp_hal_* which honor cv::ipp::useIPP via
CV_HAL_CHECK_USE_IPP). The engine's single probeHalUnary(cv_hal_*) probe already
picks that up uniformly, so the stopgap #ifdef HAVE_IPP ippExp/ippLog tier and its
ipp::useIPP() branch in getMathFunc are now redundant - removed.

* arithm: restore cv::hal::and8u/or8u/xor8u/not8u as engine wrappers
These public CV_EXPORTS entry points (core/hal/hal.hpp) lost their definitions when
the bitwise ops moved to the element-wise engine, but they are still declared and called
by other modules (opencv_objdetect's aruco) and external code - the link broke with
undefined references to cv::hal::and8u/xor8u. Restore them as thin forwarders over the
engine's byte-wise bitwise kernels (getBitwiseFunc / getNotFunc), mirroring the existing
mul8u wrapper. CV_Assert guards the kernel lookup.

* blobdetector: guard empty contour when computing blob radius
The new AutoBuffer leaves its tail uninitialized for trivial types, which surfaced a
-Wmaybe-uninitialized in findBlobs where the median of per-point distances is read. Use a
std::vector, default the radius to 0, and compute the median only for a non-empty contour -
no unproven size invariant.

core: fix use-after-scope when Mat::mul() is given a scalar #29447
### Summary
`cv::Mat::mul()` called with a scalar returns a `MatExpr` that reads a dead stack slot when it is evaluated. In a normal (non-instrumented) build this produces silently wrong values as soon as the slot is reused:
```cpp
static cv::MatExpr makeExpr(const cv::Mat& m)
{
return m.mul(7); // 7.0 is a temporary double in THIS frame
}
cv::Mat matrix(2, 3, CV_32FC1, cv::Scalar(3.0f));
cv::MatExpr expr = makeExpr(matrix);
// ... any further calls reuse the dead frame ...
cv::Mat result = expr; // observed: all 0, expected: all 21
```
Under AddressSanitizer this is the `stack-use-after-scope` reported in #23577, with the same stack trace (`cvt64s` -> `convertAndUnrollScalar` -> `arithm_op` -> `multiply` -> `MatOp_Bin::assign`).
Storing the expression is the documented lazy-evaluation usage of `MatExpr`; the argument is ordinary supported API usage (`mat.hpp` itself shows `Mat C = A.mul(5/B);`).
### Root cause
A scalar argument binds to `_InputArray(const double& val)`, which records the **address** of the temporary with kind `MATX`:
```cpp
inline _InputArray::_InputArray(const double& val)
{ init(FIXED_TYPE + FIXED_SIZE + MATX + CV_64F + ACCESS_READ, &val, Size(1,1)); }
```
`Mat::mul()` then parks `m.getMat()` inside the returned `MatExpr`. For `MATX` kind, `getMat_()` returns a non-owning, non-refcounted header over that stack memory (`return Mat(sz, flags, obj);`). The temporary dies at the end of the full expression, but the `MatExpr` keeps the header, and `MatOp_Bin::assign()` later feeds it to `cv::multiply()`. `Matx`/`Vec` arguments take the same path.
`Mat::mul()` is the only `MatExpr` factory in `matrix_expressions.cpp` that takes an `InputArray`; every other scalar operand there is stored by value in the `Scalar` member (`e.s`), so no other expression path can capture a stack pointer this way.
### Fix
Snapshot the operand with `clone()` unless it is a `Mat`/`UMat`, which keep the current zero-copy behaviour: their headers are refcounted and already safe to defer. Any other `InputArray` kind (a scalar, `Matx`, `Vec`, `std::vector`, an evaluated expression) is a potentially non-owning view, so it is copied once at expression construction, off any hot path.
### Test
Adds `Core_MatExpr.mul_scalar_use_after_scope_23577` to `modules/core/test/test_operations.cpp`. It builds the expression in a helper frame and overwrites the stack before evaluating; the helpers are called through volatile function pointers so they cannot be inlined, which makes the stale read deterministic. The test fails before the fix (result is all 0 instead of all 21) and passes after. It is self-contained: no opencv_extra data is needed.
Verified locally on macOS/AArch64 (Apple clang 17, Release): full `opencv_test_core` passes, and the AddressSanitizer reproducer from the issue is clean after the fix.
Fixes#23577.

FileNode::operator double() and operator float() read an INT node via readInt()
(32-bit), truncating values above INT_MAX -- e.g. an integer 6662329666 from an
externally-produced json/yaml/xml is read back as -1927604926. The node stores
the value as int64 (operator int64_t() already reads it correctly via readLong),
so use readLong() for the floating-point conversions too. Values that fit in
int32 are unchanged (sign-extended); larger ones are now correct.
Reader side of #29363 (the writer side was #29364).
predictOptimalVectorWidth() built its vectorWidths table with 8 entries
(depths CV_8U..CV_16F), but checkOptimalVectorWidth() indexes it by depth.
The 5.x depths CV_16BF, CV_Bool, CV_64U, CV_64S and CV_32U therefore read
past the end of the array; the garbage value can slip past the ckercn <= 0
guard, and the divider normalization loop then shifts the divider to zero,
so "offsets[i] % dividers[i]" raises SIGFPE. The failure is allocation
dependent and shows up as a sequence-dependent crash, e.g. in the OpenCL
Norm tests for CV_32U (cv::norm on a UMat reaches this via ocl_sum, which
calls predictOptimalVectorWidth before its own depth guard bails out).
Size the table to CV_DEPTH_MAX so every depth is in bounds and map the new
fixed-size integer depths to their natural OpenCL vector widths; CV_16BF
has no OpenCL vector type and stays scalar. Add a regression test covering
all depths.

Better Durand-Kerner Initialization #29109
While investigating issue #23644, I have found [this paper](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01935059) which presents a good initialization for the Durand-Kerner algorithm. Basically the idea is to put the initial points equidistantly on a circle on the complex plane. The radius of the circle is computed as
<img width="607" height="178" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ea31b002-c924-4b93-9334-3e59597c896b" />
Note that the $a_i$ coefficients in that paper are reversed compared to OpenCV. That's where the `(n - i)` in the code comes from.
I have implemented just the mean of the $u_i$'s for the sake of simplicity. That's already enough to make the algorithm converge in all cases I have tested. I have used this to test for convergence for many polynomials of order 2 and 4 and coefficients of different magnitudes:
```cpp
TEST(Core_SolvePoly, large_test)
{
cv::Mat_<float> coefs3(1,3);
cv::Mat_<float> coefs5(1,5);
cv::Mat r;
double prec;
for (int c0 = -20; c0 <= 20; c0++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(0) = c0;
for (int c1 = -20; c1 <= 20; c1++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(1) = c1;
for (int c2 = -20; c2 <= 20; c2++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(2) = c2;
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs3, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-6);
}
}
}
for (int c0 = -10; c0 <= 10; c0++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(0) = c0;
for (int c1 = -10; c1 <= 10; c1++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(1) = c1;
for (int c2 = -10; c2 <= 10; c2++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(2) = c2;
for (int c3 = -10; c3 <= 10; c3++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(3) = c3;
for (int c4 = -10; c4 <= 10; c4++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(4) = c4;
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs5, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-2);
}
}
}
}
}
for (int i = -10; i < 10; i++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(0) = pow(2, i);
for (int j = -10; j < 10; j++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(1) = pow(2, j);
for (int k = -10; k < 10; k++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(2) = pow(2, k);
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs3, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-6);
}
}
}
}
```
This test passes, but I have not committed it because it runs for a couple of seconds.
This fixes#23644 and replaces #29055. I have checked #29055 and it does not pass the test above. It seems to be optimized to the precise polynomial of #23644.

## Platform
SpacemiT X60 (K1), 8-core RISC-V RVV 1.0, VLEN=256, 16GB RAM, OS: Bianbu Linux (kernel 6.6.63), GCC 13.2.0, Build: OpenCV 4.14.0-pre, Release, HAL: YES (RVV HAL 0.0.1)
## Motivation
OpenCV's Universal Intrinsics `v_matmul` and `v_matmuladd` have a semantic bug in the RVV scalable backend (`modules/core/include/opencv2/core/hal/intrin_rvv_scalable.hpp`).
The current implementation uses `v_extract_n(v, 0/1/2/3)` with hardcoded indices, assuming the vector holds exactly 4 float lanes (128-bit fixed). On hardware with VLEN=256 (e.g. SpacemiT K1 / BPI-F3), `v_float32` with LMUL=2 holds 16 lanes. As a result, lanes 4–15 silently reuse the inputs from lanes 0–3, producing wrong results.
OpenCV itself acknowledges this in `modules/core/src/matmul.simd.hpp`:
// v_matmuladd for RVV is 128-bit only but not scalable,
// this will fail the test Core_Transform.accuracy
The RVV scalable `transform_32f` path has been disabled because of this bug. However, the existing `TheTest<R>::test_matmul()` only checked the first 4-lane group (the outer loop was effectively hardcoded to `int i = 0`), so the bug was never caught by CI even on wide-vector backends.
## Modification
**Test fix** (`modules/core/test/test_intrin_utils.hpp`): Expanded `test_matmul()` to iterate over all 4-lane groups:
// Before (only checked lane group i=0)
int i = 0;
for (int j = i; j < i + 4; ++j) { ... }
// After (checks all lane groups)
for (int i = 0; i < VTraits<R>::vlanes(); i += 4)
{
for (int j = i; j < i + 4; ++j) { ... }
}
**Kernel fix** (`modules/core/include/opencv2/core/hal/intrin_rvv_scalable.hpp`): Rewrote `v_matmul` and `v_matmuladd` to process all 4-lane groups correctly. Each group of 4 lanes now independently computes the full matrix multiply using its own `v[i], v[i+1], v[i+2], v[i+3]` inputs. The `transform_32f` RVV path in `matmul.simd.hpp` remains disabled as the autovectorized path shows better performance on current hardware.
## Experiment 1: Bug reproduced on SpacemiT K1 (VLEN=256)
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter="*intrin*"
Result: `hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE` FAILED with 24 failures, all from lane groups i=4, i=8, i=12 (lanes 4–15).
Representative failures from `v_matmul` (line 1526):
i=4 j=4: actual=158 expected=56
i=4 j=5: actual=166.39999 expected=59.200001
i=8 j=8: actual=314.39999 expected=68.800003
i=12 j=12: actual=512.40002 expected=81.599998
Representative failures from `v_matmuladd` (line 1540):
i=4 j=4: actual=147.5 expected=51.5
i=8 j=8: actual=284.70001 expected=60.700001
i=12 j=12: actual=453.89999 expected=69.900002
Lane group i=0 (j=0..3) passed correctly — confirming the bug only affects lanes beyond the first 4, exactly as expected from the hardcoded `v_extract_n(v, 0/1/2/3)` implementation.
## Experiment 2: Both tests pass after fixing the kernel
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter='hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE'
[ OK ] hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE (1859 ms)
[ PASSED ] 1 test.
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter='Core_Transform.accuracy'
[ OK ] Core_Transform.accuracy (819 ms)
[ PASSED ] 1 test.
## Experiment 3: RVV transform path remains disabled (performance regression)
After re-enabling the RVV scalable `transform_32f` path experimentally, benchmarks showed a significant regression vs the compiler-autovectorized scalar path (CV_32FC3):
Size RVV path Scalar path Ratio
640x480 7.83 ms 1.48 ms 5.3x slower
1280x720 23.96 ms 5.17 ms 4.6x slower
1920x1080 53.76 ms 10.12 ms 5.3x slower
The compiler-autovectorized path outperforms the hand-written RVV kernel for this workload, consistent with the original comment in `matmul.simd.hpp`. The `transform_32f` RVV path is therefore kept disabled in this PR. The kernel fix to `v_matmul`/`v_matmuladd` remains necessary for correctness on wide-vector hardware, and the expanded test ensures the bug cannot regress silently in future.

Rvv core norm #29057Fixesopencv/opencv#29052
### Problem
`Core_Norm/ElemWiseTest.accuracy/0` failed on RISC-V with RVV enabled when computing norm for `CV_16S` data.
The reported failing case was:
```text
src[0] ~ 16sC4 3-dim (1 x 116 x 40)
```
The expected norm result was a large positive `double`, but the RVV path returned an incorrect value:
```text
expected: 3370900308417
actual: -173296
```
This indicates that the problem was not in the public `cv::norm()` API, but in the RVV HAL implementation used for the `CV_16S` L2/L2SQR accumulation path.
### Root Cause
The RVV HAL has a specialized implementation for `CV_16S` L2 norm:
```cpp
NormL2_RVV<short, double>
```
The implementation widens `int16` values, squares them, converts the widened products to `float64`, accumulates them in an `f64m8` vector, and finally reduces the vector to a scalar `double`:
```cpp
auto s = __riscv_vfmv_v_f_f64m8(0, vlmax);
...
auto v_mul = __riscv_vwmul(v, v, vl);
s = __riscv_vfadd_tu(s, s, __riscv_vfwcvt_f(v_mul, vl), vl);
...
return __riscv_vfmv_f(__riscv_vfredosum(...));
```
The bug was in the scalar initializer passed to `__riscv_vfredosum`.
Before this patch, the code created an `f64m1` scalar vector but used the maximum vector length for `e32m1`:
```cpp
__riscv_vfmv_s_f_f64m1(0, __riscv_vsetvlmax_e32m1())
```
This is inconsistent: the vector type is `f64m1`, so the VL used to initialize it must correspond to `e64m1`, not `e32m1`.
Add ARMPL support for DFT Function #28664
- This PR introduces hal/armpl/ with implementation of 1D, 2D DFT and DCT routines using ARM Performance Libraries as a custom HAL replacement for OpenCV's DFT & DCT Function.
- ArmPL MSI package is automatically downloaded and extracted via CMake when building on Windows ARM64, with a WITH_ARMPL option that defaults to ON for that platform.
- Forward and inverse real DFT calls in dxt.cpp are routed through ArmPL when available, with scaling applied only when needed.
- Test error thresholds in test_dxt.cpp are relaxed (from 1e-5 to 2e-4 for float ) to account for numerical differences between ArmPL and OpenCV's reference DFT results.

dnn: fix dst_dp assertion in broadcast for size-1 dims causing crash in lightglue.onnx model #28692
The original assertion CV_Assert(dst_dp == 1) does not handle valid cases where the innermost dimension size is 1 like [10, 5, 1], resulting in dst_dp == 0.
This occurs during broadcasting in LightGlue ONNX model and leads to assertion failure.
Allow dst_dp == 0 for size-1 dimensions to handle this edge case correctly.

### Description
Fixes https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28619
Moves the "empty key" check before the backward do-while scan in `YAMLParser::parseKey()`.
**Problem:** When parsing a YAML mapping with an empty key (e.g. `: 10` at column 0), `endptr == ptr` after the forward scan finds `:`. The do-while loop `do c = *--endptr; while(c == ' ')` always executes at least once, so it decrements `endptr` to `ptr-1` and reads one byte before the heap allocation (ASan: heap-buffer-overflow READ of size 1).
**Fix:** Check `endptr == ptr` before entering the backward loop. If the key is empty, raise `CV_PARSE_ERROR_CPP("An empty key")` immediately without the OOB read.
This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Fix absdiff with int arguments #28267
I believe the fix to the undefined behavior described in #27080 is simply casting to unsigned before subtraction, because
1. casting int to unsigned is well-defined; negative values get represented modulo $2^{32}$
2. overflow in unsigned subtraction is well-defined and the results are modulo $2^{32}$
Since we are computing everything modulo $2^{32}$ and the result must always be a non-negative number below $2^{32}$, this computation should be well-defined and correct.
I have verified this on ARM Apple Clang and on x64 Linux gcc with `-O3` and both produce the correct values in the reproducer of #27080. The test I have added fails with the integer overflow on both platforms I have tested. Perhaps @fengyuentau could verify if this also fixes the issue on the platforms he has tested?
I have added a fix and removed the workarounds. I recommended this approach in #28229, but he decided to revert it.

PR #27972 added _dst.create(size(), type()) in copyTo's empty() block.
In Debug builds, Mat::release() was resetting flags to MAGIC_VAL,
clearing the type information and causing assertion failures when
destination has fixedType().
Preserve type flags in Mat::release() debug mode by using:
flags = (flags & CV_MAT_TYPE_MASK) | MAGIC_VAL
Thanks to @akretz for suggesting this better approach.

core: fix solveCubic numerical instability via coefficient normalization (fixes#27748) #28117
Summary
This PR fixes numerical instability in `cv::solveCubic` when the leading coefficient `a` is non-zero but extremely small relative to other coefficients (Issue #27748).
It introduces a **normalization step** that scales all coefficients by their maximum magnitude before solving. This ensures robust detection of when the equation should degenerate to a quadratic solver, without breaking valid cubic equations that happen to have small coefficients (e.g., scaled by 1e-9).
The Problem (Issue #27748)
The previous implementation checked `if (a == 0)` to decide whether to use the cubic or quadratic formula.
- When `a` is extremely small (e.g., 1e-17) but not exactly zero, and other coefficients are normal (e.g., 5.0), the standard cubic formula suffers from catastrophic cancellation and overflow, producing incorrect roots (e.g., 1e14).
The Fix
1. Normalization: The solver now finds `max_coeff = max(|a|, |b|, |c|, |d|)` and scales all coefficients by `1.0 / max_coeff`.
2. Relative Threshold: It then checks `if (abs(a) < epsilon)` on the *normalized* coefficients.
Why this is better than previous attempts
In a previous attempt (PR #28057), a simple absolute check `abs(a) < epsilon` was proposed. That approach was rejected because it failed for scaled equations.
