[video] Add setCoarsestScale to DISOpticalFlow (Fixes#25068) #28217
### Description
This PR addresses issue #25068 regarding the number of scales in `DISOpticalFlow`.
Currently, `DISOpticalFlow` automatically computes the `coarsest_scale` based on the image size. While generally effective, this behavior can cause errors in specific use cases (e.g., mechanics/speckle pattern analysis) where high pyramid levels degrade quality.
This change introduces a manual override:
- Added `setCoarsestScale(int val)` and `getCoarsestScale()` to the public API.
- Updated `DISOpticalFlowImpl::calc` and `ocl_calc` to use the user-defined scale if set.
- Preserved the existing "automatic" behavior as the default (when set to -1).
### Changes
- **`modules/video/include/opencv2/video/tracking.hpp`**: Added virtual method declarations.
- **`modules/video/src/dis_flow.cpp`**: Implemented `set/getCoarsestScale` in `DISOpticalFlowImpl` and updated calculation logic.
- **`modules/video/test/test_OF_accuracy.cpp`**: Added `DenseOpticalFlow_DIS.ManualCoarsestScale` regression test.
Fixes#25068
Add optional template mask for findTransformECC #27952
Supersedes #22997
**Summary**
Add optional template mask support to findTransformECC so that only pixels valid in both the template and the image are used in ECC. Backward compatibility is preserved (existing signatures unchanged; one new overload adds templateMask).
**Motivation**
- Real-world frames often contain moving foreground artifacts (e.g., a football over a static field). Masking the object in one frame only is insufficient because its position changes independently of the background. Since we don’t know the warp a priori, we can’t back-project a single mask across frames. The correct approach is to supply both masks and take their intersection.
- Templates may include uninformative/low-texture or noisy regions, or partial overlaps with other objects. Excluding such regions from the alignment improves robustness and convergence.
This PR completes and replaces https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/22997

### Description
This adds an optional foreground input mask parameter to the MOG2 and KNN background subtractors, in line with issue https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/26476
4 tests are added under test_bgfg2.cpp:
2 for each subtractor type (1 with shadow detection and 1 without)
A demo shows the feature with only 3 parameters and with a 4th optional foreground mask for both core subtractor types.
Note: To patch contrib inheritance of the background subtraction class, empty apply method which throws a not implemented error is added to contrib subclasses. This is done to keep the overloaded apply function as pure virtual. Contrib PR to be made and linked shortly.

Replaces https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/26295

VIT track(gsoc realtime object tracking model) #24201
Vit tracker(vision transformer tracker) is a much better model for real-time object tracking. Vit tracker can achieve speeds exceeding nanotrack by 20% in single-threaded mode with ARM chip, and the advantage becomes even more pronounced in multi-threaded mode. In addition, on the dataset, vit tracker demonstrates better performance compared to nanotrack. Moreover, vit trackerprovides confidence values during the tracking process, which can be used to determine if the tracking is currently lost.
opencv_zoo: https://github.com/opencv/opencv_zoo/pull/194
opencv_extra: [https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1088](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1088)
# Performance comparison is as follows:
NOTE: The speed below is tested by **onnxruntime** because opencv has poor support for the transformer architecture for now.
ONNX speed test on ARM platform(apple M2)(ms):
| thread nums | 1| 2| 3| 4|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| nanotrack| 5.25| 4.86| 4.72| 4.49|
| vit tracker| 4.18| 2.41| 1.97| **1.46 (3X)**|
ONNX speed test on x86 platform(intel i3 10105)(ms):
| thread nums | 1| 2| 3| 4|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| nanotrack|3.20|2.75|2.46|2.55|
| vit tracker|3.84|2.37|2.10|2.01|
opencv speed test on x86 platform(intel i3 10105)(ms):
| thread nums | 1| 2| 3| 4|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| vit tracker|31.3|31.4|31.4|31.4|
preformance test on lasot dataset(AUC is the most important data. Higher AUC means better tracker):
|LASOT | AUC| P| Pnorm|
|--------|--------|--------|--------|
| nanotrack| 46.8| 45.0| 43.3|
| vit tracker| 48.6| 44.8| 54.7|
[https://youtu.be/MJiPnu1ZQRI](https://youtu.be/MJiPnu1ZQRI)
In target tracking tasks, the score is an important indicator that can indicate whether the current target is lost. In the video, vit tracker can track the target and display the current score in the upper left corner of the video. When the target is lost, the score drops significantly. While nanotrack will only return 0.9 score in any situation, so that we cannot determine whether the target is lost.

[teset data in opencv_extra](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1016)
NanoTrack is an extremely lightweight and fast object-tracking model.
The total size is **1.1 MB**.
And the FPS on M1 chip is **150**, on Raspberry Pi 4 is about **30**. (Float32 CPU only)
With this model, many users can run object tracking on the edge device.
The author of NanoTrack is @HonglinChu.
