Fix ~0.5px systematic offset in CharucoDetector subpixel refinement #28380Resolves#25539
### Problem
`CharucoDetector::detectBoard` produces Charuco corner coordinates that are consistently offset by approximately **+0.5 pixels** compared to `findChessboardCorners + cornerSubPix`.
This offset is systematic (mean ≈ −0.5 px when comparing legacy − Charuco) and reproducible across images. Visual inspection also shows that the legacy chessboard detector aligns better with the actual corner locations.
### Root cause
In `charuco_detector.cpp`, the points passed to `cornerSubPix` are manually shifted by `-Point2f(0.5f, 0.5f)` before refinement and then shifted back by `+Point2f(0.5f, 0.5f)` after refinement.
However, `cornerSubPix` refines corners in **absolute image coordinates** and converges to the true saddle point based on image gradients. Shifting the initial guess does not affect the converged result as long as the true corner lies within the refinement window.
The additional `+0.5` shift applied after refinement therefore introduces a constant bias, resulting in:
```
P_out = P_true + 0.5
```
### Solution
Remove the manual `±0.5` coordinate shifts around the `cornerSubPix` call and let the refined result be returned directly.
### Test updates
Updated expected corner values in the following tests:
- `testBoardSubpixelCoords`
- `testSeveralBoardsWithCustomIds`
The previous expected values (e.g. `200`, `250`, `300`) were only correct due to the +0.5px bias introduced by the bug.
`generateImage` creates checkerboard squares of exactly **50 pixels**, which places true corner locations on **pixel boundaries** rather than pixel centers. As a result, the correct subpixel coordinates are:
```
199.5, 249.5, 299.5
```
instead of the previously expected integer values.
After updating the expected values, all **30 Charuco-related tests pass** with the fix applied.
### Verification
I verified the fix using a Python reproducer that compares `CharucoDetector` output against `findChessboardCorners + cornerSubPix`:
- **Before fix:** mean error ≈ −0.501 px


- **After fix:** mean error ≈ −0.001 px


After the change, the Charuco detector output aligns with the legacy chessboard detector both numerically and visually.
### Notes
This change only affects the post-refinement coordinate handling and does not alter detection logic, refinement parameters, or performance.

Fix integer overflow in medianBlur #28386
The bug in #28385 is that the pointer arithmetic in
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/d8bc5b94b851d5b392c61e5b954fba992e18bb73/modules/imgproc/src/median_blur.simd.hpp#L666-L668

The test allocates 2.3GB for the Mat; I hope that's okay.

The TopK layer was incorrectly rejecting K values equal to the input
dimension size. According to ONNX specification, K should be allowed
to equal the dimension size (to retrieve all elements).
Changed validation from 'K < input_shape[axis]' to 'K <= input_shape[axis]'
This fixes the error when loading YOLOv10 ONNX models that use TopK
with K equal to the dimension size.

docs(calib3d): fix grammar and clarify radial distortion formula in camera calibration tutorial #28422
This PR improves the camera calibration tutorial documentation by:
- Fixing minor grammatical issues for better readability.
- Clarifying the radial distortion model by explicitly defining r² = x² + y².
These changes do not affect functionality and are intended to make the mathematical explanation clearer for readers and new users.
core: add NEON support for cvFloor in fast_math.hpp #28243
- This PR adds NEON intrinsics-based implementation for the cvFloor function in fast_math.hpp for Windows-ARM64.
- Both float and double overloads now use NEON intrinsics for cvFloor Function.
- calchist and calchist1d function uses cvFloor function for its computations.
- After adding these changes both functions showed improvement in performance.

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.
