[GSOC] feat: Add ALIKED feature extractor and LightGlue matcher with DNN integration #28986
## PR Description
### Summary
Integrate ALIKED and LightGlue into OpenCV's `features` module as native`Feature2D` and `DescriptorMatcher` implementations, enabling end-to-end neural feature matching within OpenCV's ecosystem.
---
### What's included
#### New classes
- **`cv::ALIKED`** extends `Feature2D`
- CNN-based keypoint detection
- 128-D descriptor extraction via ONNX Runtime
- **`cv::LightGlueMatcher`** extends `DescriptorMatcher`
- Deep feature matching with spatial context
- Uses keypoints and image sizes during matching
---
#### API design
- Standard OpenCV patterns:
- `detectAndCompute()`
- `match()`
- `knnMatch()`
- Multiple factory methods:
- ONNX model path
- In-memory model buffer
- Pre-loaded `dnn::Net`
- `Params` structs use `CV_EXPORTS_W_SIMPLE`
for Python/Java bindings support
- Optional DNN dependency:
- `HAVE_OPENCV_DNN` guards
- Stub implementations throw `StsNotImplemented`
---
### Files added
| File | Description |

| `src/feature2d_aliked.cpp` | ALIKED implementation |
| `src/matchers_lightglue.cpp` | LightGlueMatcher implementation |
| `src/aliked_context.hpp` | Shared internal context struct |
| `test/test_aliked_lightglue.cpp` | Unit tests (9 test cases) |
| `samples/cpp/example_features_aliked_lightglue.cpp` | Demo application |
---
### Files modified
- `CMakeLists.txt`
- Add `opencv_dnn` as optional dependency

LightGlueMatcher::create("aliked_lightglue.onnx");
lg->setPairInfo(
kpts1Mat,

img1.size(),
img2.size()
);
vector<DMatch> matches;
lg->match(descs1, descs2, matches);

### Test plan
* Build with `BUILD_LIST=features,dnn`
* Build without DNN:
* Verify stubs compile
* Verify `StsNotImplemented` is thrown
* Run:
* `ctest -R Features2d_ALIKED`
* `ctest -R Features2d_LightGlueMatcher`
* Run sample application with:
* Real images
* Real ONNX models
* Verify Python/Java bindings compile and work

### Related
Phase 1 of the
"End-to-End AI Feature Extraction and LightGlue Matching Pipeline"
GSoC project.
Designed to be extensible to:
* XFeat
* SuperPoint
* Other neural feature extractors
### test dependency
Depends on the opencv_extra PR adding ALIKED and LightGlue test models:
- [opencv_extra PR](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1366)
This PR adds the following ONNX models to `download_models.py`:
- `aliked-n16rot-top1k-640.onnx`
- `aliked_lightglue.onnx`
These models are required for the `features2d` tests in the main OpenCV repository to validate the ALIKED and LightGlue feature extraction and matching pipeline.

imgproc: add findTRUContours - lock-free parallel contour extraction #28773
Integrates the TRUCO algorithm (Threaded Raster Unrestricted Contour Ownership, @cite TRUCO2026) as a transparent fast path inside `cv::findContours`. No API change is required: existing code automatically benefits when `mode=RETR_LIST` and no hierarchy output is requested.
### How it works
When `mode=RETR_LIST` and the caller does not request hierarchy, `findContours` delegates to the TRUCO parallel engine instead of Suzuki-Abe. All ContourApproximationModes are supported; approximation is applied in parallel after extraction. In all other cases the original Suzuki-Abe path is used unchanged.
### Key design ideas
- Row-strip domain decomposition parallelised via `cv::parallel_for_`
- Start-point ownership rule + speculative downward tracing eliminate tile stitching and synchronisation primitives (lock-free)
- 8-bit state space instead of the 32-bit integer labeling required by Suzuki-Abe, giving higher SIMD throughput and lower memory-bandwidth pressure
- Paged contour buffer (`TRUCOPagedContour`) avoids heap reallocation on the hot tracing path
- SIMD-accelerated row scanning via `cv::v_uint8` intrinsics
- Thread count controlled globally via `cv::setNumThreads()`, consistent with OpenCV conventions
### Output correctness
Significant effort has gone into ensuring the output is identical to the original `findContours` in every respect: same contour set, same ordering, and same approximation results for all methods. A dedicated test suite (`test_contours_truco.cpp`) verifies exact match against Suzuki-Abe across all four `ContourApproximationModes` and thread counts from 1 to 39, using noise images, circles, nested rectangles, and mixed scenes.
### Performance vs. Suzuki-Abe (from submitted paper)
- single-thread: ~1.8–1.9× faster (8-bit SIMD advantage)
- 20 threads: ~14–20× faster on i7-13700H (6P+8E, 20T)
- 20 threads: ~10–12× faster on Xeon Silver 4510 (12C/24T)

Related PR: [#27490](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/27490)
This PR adds chromatic aberration correction in C++ based on calibration data from the python app.
This code adds a function for chromatic aberration correction based on the calibration file (Mat correctChromaticAberration(InputArray image, const String& calibration_file)), and a class ChromaticAberrationCorrector which can be used to correct images of the same camera under the same settings (so for the same calibration data that is initialized in the beginning).
Also, basic functionality and performance tests are added.

Add a new function that approximates the polygon bounding a convex hull with a certain number of sides #25607
merge PR with <https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1179>
This PR is based on the paper [View Frustum Optimization To Maximize Object’s Image Area](https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=1fbd43f3827fffeb76641a9c5ab5b625eb5a75ba).
# Problem
I needed to reduce the number of vertices of the convex hull so that the additional area was minimal, andall vertices of the original contour enter the new contour.
# Description
Initially in the contour of n vertices, at each stage we consider the intersection points of the lines formed by each adjacent edges. Each of these intersection points will form a triangle with vertices through which lines pass. Let's choose a triangle with the minimum area and merge the two vertices at the intersection point. We continue until there are more vertices than the specified number of sides of the approximated polygon.
# Complexity:
Using a std::priority_queue or std::set time complexity is **(O(n\*ln(n))**, memory **O(n)**,
n - number of vertices in convex hull.
count of sides - the number of points by which we must reduce.
## Comment
If epsilon_percentage more 0, algorithm can return more values than _side_.
Algorithm returns OutputArray. If OutputArray.type() equals 0, algorithm returns values with InputArray.type().
New test uses image which are not in opencv_extra, needs to be added.
