Feat: add OpenCL SIFT detector and descriptor #29450
Add OpenCL implementation of SIFT detector and
descriptor extractor, triggered via T-API when
the caller passes a UMat. Targets the features
module (5.x directory layout).
Implementation:
- 4 OpenCL kernels in sift.cl: gaussian_blur_h, gaussian_blur_v, detect_and_orient, and compute_descriptor.
- Host-side dispatch in sift.dispatch.cpp using CV_OCL_RUN_ macro, pure additions to the existing CPU path.
- T-API entry: detectAndCompute, detect, compute.
Gating and fallback:
- 64-bit only. 32-bit falls back to CPU via sizeof(void*) > 4 guard.
- OpenCL 1.1 or later required. Devices below 1.1 fall back to CPU.
- No-OpenCL builds fall back to CPU. Verified with WITH_OPENCL=OFF: 79 tests pass, same 3 pre-existing failures (DISK/AFFINE_FEATURE missing .npy data files).
Correctness:
- nOctaveLayers > 3 OOB fix: gk_coeffs and gk_radius resized to nOctaveLayers+2 via std::vector (were fixed size 5).
- Regression test for nOctaveLayers > 3.
- 10 OCL SIFT tests pass, 60 OCL tests pass, 139 features tests pass (3 pre-existing failures unrelated to SIFT).
Performance optimizations:
- native_exp, native_sqrt, native_recip for hardware approximations (OpenCL 1.1 builtins).
- Eliminate intermediate rawDst[128] buffer; normalize in-place from hist[].
- Non-blocking kernel launches with single ocl::finish() before host reads keypoint count.
- Custom separable Gaussian blur for init image bypassing T-API GaussianBlur dispatch overhead.
- exp2() replaces pow(2.0f, x); scl_octv reused.
- Hoist UMat tmp allocation out of pyramid loop.
- Interleaved keypoint output buffer (6 arrays to 1) for coalesced writes and fewer copies.
- Consolidated descriptor keypoint copies (2N to 2 host-to-device transfers).
- std::map replaced with flat vector indexed by pyramid level (O(1) vs O(log n)).
- DoG computed on-the-fly in detect kernel via READ_DOG macro, eliminating 45 subtract() calls and dog_pack allocation.
- Shared gauss_packs between detect and descriptor, eliminating duplicate copyTo.
- Cross-level packing per octave: one descriptor kernel launch per octave instead of per level. Keypoint buffer expanded to 5 floats (added layer index). Levels packed into single UMat. Reduces kernel launch overhead and improves GPU utilization for octaves with few keypoints.
- __local memory tiling for Gaussian blur kernels with 16x16 workgroups and cooperative halo loading. Reduces global memory traffic.
- Direct uchar descriptor output for CV_8U: kernel writes convert_uchar_sat_rte directly instead of float buffer + host convertTo pass. Eliminates temp allocation and extra kernel launch.
Performance result (stitching/s2.jpg resized):
- DetectAndCompute: OCL wins at >=960x540 (1.32x at 960x540, 1.80x at 1280x720, 1.87x at 1920x1080).
- Compute-only: OCL wins at >=1280x720 (1.60x at 1280x720, 1.78x at 1920x1080).
Tests:
- modules/features/test/ocl/test_feature2d.cpp with OCL SIFT correctness tests on real images (leuven img1.png, a3.png, s2.jpg).
- DescriptorType, Regression_26139, and Batch tests mirror CPU coverage (CV_8U descriptor type, single-keypoint edge case, 6-image detect+compute).
- modules/features/perf/opencl/perf_sift.cpp with real image and 5-size sweep.
- CPU SIFT_Scaled fixture added to perf_feature2d.cpp for aligned OCL vs CPU comparison.

imgproc: extend boxFilter / gaussianBlurBinomial coverage in RISC-V RVV HAL #29440
### Summary
This PR extends RVV HAL coverage of the two most frequently used smoothing filters. Previously, `cv_hal_boxFilter` was only implemented for single-channel types (plus 32FC3) at 3×3/5×5, and `cv_hal_gaussianBlurBinomial` for 8UC1/16UC1/8UC4. The most common cases in practice — interleaved **8UC3** images and **7×7** box kernels — fell back to the core `FilterEngine` path, which runs single-threaded, costing 6–19× on multi-core RISC-V hardware.
New coverage:
- `boxFilter`: **8UC3 / 8UC4** (3×3, 5×5, 7×7); **7×7** for 8UC1, 16SC1, 32FC1, 32FC3 and the 8U→16U variant
- `gaussianBlurBinomial`: **8UC3** (3×3, 5×5)
Combinations already covered upstream keep their existing kernels byte-for-byte; net diff is +274/−162 across two files.
### Implementation
1. **Channel-blind "flat" kernels** (`boxFilterFlat8U<ksize, cn>`, `gaussianBlurFlat8U<ksize, cn>`). An interleaved row is processed as `width*cn` flat u8 elements whose horizontal taps sit at strides of `cn` elements: element *i* sums exactly its own channel's taps at `i, i+cn, …, i+(ksize−1)·cn`. One template therefore serves all channel counts, and:
- the horizontal pass becomes `ksize` independent unaligned `vle8` loads combined with widening adds — no `vlseg`/`vsseg` and no serial `vslide1down` chains, which are microcoded/serialized on current RVV hardware;
- the vertical pass is a single contiguous u16 stream processed at LMUL=8;
- the output is a plain `vse8` after saturating narrowing.
2. **Incremental vertical sliding window** for box with `ksize > 3`: the column-sum ring buffer keeps `ksize+1` rows so the window slides in O(1) per output row (add the entering row, subtract the leaving row) instead of re-summing `ksize` rows. u16 modular arithmetic stays exact because window sums never exceed 49·255 = 12495.
3. **Division-free normalization**: normalized box output uses multiply-high + shift (`m = ceil(2^18 / k²)`, Granlund–Montgomery; exact for divisors 9/25/49 over the full value range, verified per divisor) instead of long-latency vector integer division. Rounding is bit-identical to the previous `(sum + k²/2) / k²`.
4. **Existing kernels are extended, not rewritten**: `boxFilterC1` and the float `boxFilterC3` gain a 7×7 step in their existing unrolled style, so the 3×3/5×5 instantiations compile to the same code as before. The previous per-channel gaussian 8UC4 segment kernel is replaced by the flat kernel at measured parity, which is why the diff removes more gaussian lines than it adds.
5. Constraints respected: no hard-coded VLEN, RVV 1.0 intrinsics only, no scalable vector types in arrays.
### Performance
SpacemiT K1 (X60, rv64gcv, VLEN=256, 8×1.6 GHz), 1280×720, against a clean build of current 5.x HEAD.
**Measurement protocol:** each case is timed for **30 iterations** (after 2 warm-up runs) and the minimum is taken; the whole benchmark is executed in **2 interleaved rounds per library** (baseline/candidate alternated to cancel frequency/thermal drift, measured at up to 2× per run on this board), reporting the per-case minimum across rounds.
| Case | Generic | HAL | Speedup |
|------|--------:|----:|--------:|
| boxFilter 8UC1 7×7 | 6.539 ms | 0.330 ms | 19.8× |
| boxFilter 8UC3 3×3 | 7.325 ms | 0.994 ms | 7.4× |
| boxFilter 8UC3 5×5 | 8.118 ms | 1.142 ms | 7.1× |
| boxFilter 8UC3 7×7 | 15.930 ms | 1.328 ms | 12.0× |
| boxFilter 8UC4 3×3 | 9.552 ms | 1.466 ms | 6.5× |
| boxFilter 8UC4 5×5 | 10.775 ms | 1.841 ms | 5.9× |
| boxFilter 8UC4 7×7 | 14.268 ms | 2.112 ms | 6.8× |
| gaussianBlur 8UC3 3×3 | 2.382 ms | 1.023 ms | 2.3× |
| gaussianBlur 8UC3 5×5 | 2.746 ms | 1.684 ms | 1.6× |
**Geometric mean: ~6.1×** across the newly covered cases. Most of the box gain is the HAL's row-parallel execution (core `FilterEngine` has no internal parallelism) multiplied by the flat-layout kernels; the incremental window gives 7×7 a further ~1.9× over the plain flat version.
Regression check: the full `opencv_perf_imgproc` sweep (5610 timed cases, `--perf_min_samples=10`, one round per library) shows a geomean of 1.015× with no regressions beyond run-to-run noise — every case initially below 0.90× was re-verified with 2×2 interleaved rounds and per-case minima, and none persisted. The blur fixtures independently confirm 4.7–8.6× on 8UC4 across sizes and border types.
### Accuracy
- **Bit-exact against the core fallback**: for every newly covered combination (all 15 type/ksize pairs exercised), the HAL output was checksummed against the generic implementation on identical random inputs — all checksums match exactly. This includes the multiply-high normalization (bit-identical rounding to the previous division) and the incremental vertical window (u16 modular add/subtract cancels exactly).
- **Full accuracy suites**: `opencv_test_imgproc` filter/blur/smooth tests (`*BoxFilter*:*GaussianBlur*:*Blur*:*blur*:*Smooth*:*smooth*`) were run on K1 against a clean upstream HEAD build: **819 tests pass on both libraries, and the failure sets (pre-existing upstream failures, unrelated to this PR) are line-for-line identical**. These suites cover random anchors, all border modes, ROI offsets, and in-place operation.
- Combinations already covered upstream are unchanged by construction (same kernels, same codegen), so their accuracy behavior is inherited.
Note for reviewers: the large baseline gap also reflects that core `FilterEngine` runs single-threaded; that affects all non-HAL targets and may deserve a separate issue.

### Description
Implements the ONNX `DynamicQuantizeLinear` operator (opset 11) for the OpenCV DNN module.
**What it does:**
- Adds `QuantizeDynamicLayer` and `DequantizeDynamicLayer` layer classes
- Registers layers and adds ONNX importer dispatch for `DynamicQuantizeLinear`
- Computes scale and zero-point at runtime from activation min/max
- Quantizes FP32 input to int8 (stored as uint8 - 128, matching OpenCV convention)
**Framework limitation & workaround:**
Due to the single-dtype-per-layer constraint in `LayerData::dtype` (see #29017), the float32 scale output cannot be passed through the CV_8S blob pipeline directly. As a workaround, the scale is encoded as 4 raw bytes in a CV_8S `{1,4}` blob using `memcpy`, and decoded by the downstream `DequantizeDynamic` layer.
**Testing:**
- Custom accuracy tests reproduce all 3 ONNX conformance test cases: `test_dynamicquantizelinear`, `test_dynamicquantizelinear_max_adjusted`, `test_dynamicquantizelinear_min_adjusted`
- Each test verifies: quantized values, scale, zero point, and round-trip dequantize accuracy
- All existing quantization regression tests pass (42/42)
**Conformance tests:**
The 6 conformance tests for `DynamicQuantizeLinear` remain in the parser denylist (they were already denylisted before this PR) because the framework cannot produce mixed-type outputs. The custom tests provide equivalent coverage.
