Fixing imread() function 16 bit reading png problem with libspng #27113
The purpose of the PR was to load bit-exact compatible results with libspng and libpng. To test this, `Imgcodecs_Png_PngSuite `was improved. Files containing gamma correction were moved to a separate test called `Imgcodecs_Png_PngSuite_Gamma `because the logic created for the other files did not apply to those with gamma correction. As a result, libspng now works in bit-exact compatibility with libpng. The code can be refactored later.

Consider QRCode ECI encoding #24426
### Pull Request Readiness Checklist
related: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/24350#pullrequestreview-1661658421
1. Add `getEncoding` method to obtain ECI number
2. Add `detectAndDecodeBytes`, `decodeBytes`, `decodeBytesMulti`, `detectAndDecodeBytesMulti` methods in Python (return `bytes`) and Java (return `byte[]`)
3. Allow Python bytes to std::string conversion in general and add `encode(byte[] encoded_info, Mat qrcode)` in Java
Python example with Kanji encoding:
```python
img = cv.imread("test.png")
detect = cv.QRCodeDetector()
data, points, straight_qrcode = detect.detectAndDecodeBytes(img)
print(data)
print(detect.getEncoding(), cv.QRCodeEncoder_ECI_SHIFT_JIS)
print(data.decode("shift-jis"))
```

Fixed Android setCameraIndex issue. #27419
Fixed camera switching issue on Android devices: When a device has more than two cameras, the setCameraIndex method failed to switch to non-default cameras.
Root cause: The original code only considered two default camera IDs when updating camera IDs, ignoring all others. This fix ensures all camera IDs are properly handled.

Deprecate copyData Parameter in UMat Construction from std::vector and Always Copy Data #27408
Overview
This PR simplifies and modernizes the construction of cv::UMat from std::vector by removing the legacy copyData parameter, always copying the data, and ensuring clearer, safer semantics. This brings UMat in line with current best practices and paves the way for the upcoming OpenCV 5.x series.
What Changed?
1. Header Documentation Update
Removed confusing or obsolete documentation about copyData and clarified the behavior:
Old: builds matrix from std::vector with or without copying the data
New: builds matrix from std::vector. The data is always copied. The copyData parameter is deprecated and will be removed in OpenCV 5.0.
2. Implementation Update
In UMat::UMat(const std::vector<_Tp>& vec, bool copyData), the copyData parameter:
Is now ignored and marked as deprecated.
Marked with CV_UNUSED(copyData) for backward compatibility and to avoid warnings.
The constructor always copies the data from the input vector, regardless of the value of copyData.
All branching logic around copyData has been removed. Any code for "not copying" was not implemented and is now dropped.
This guarantees data safety and predictable behavior.
3. Test Added
A new test construct_from_vector in test_umat_from_vector.cpp:
Verifies that UMat copies the vector data, not referencing it.
Modifies the source vector after construction to confirm that the UMat is unaffected (proving copy, not reference).
Checks matrix shape, type, and content to ensure correctness.
Why This Change?
1. Safety and Predictability
Always copying avoids dangling references and hard-to-debug lifetime issues with stack/heap-allocated vectors.
Removes an undocumented, unimplemented branch (copyData=false).
2. Backward Compatibility
The constructor signature remains for now, but the copyData parameter is marked as deprecated and ignored.
Codebases that pass the parameter will still compile and run as before (but always copy).
3. API Clarity and Maintenance
Documentation now matches the real implementation.
No misleading expectations about zero-copy.
Code is cleaner, future-proof, and easier to maintain.
4. Preparation for OpenCV 5.0
The copyData parameter is deprecated and will be removed in OpenCV 5.x.
Prepares users and downstream libraries for the planned change.
How This Helps OpenCV Users and Developers
Guarantees data safety and makes behavior explicit.
Removes legacy/ambiguous code.
Provides a clear path to OpenCV 5.x.
Minimizes future migration pain.
Ensures all users see the same, reliable behavior (copy semantics).

fix#26276: cv::VideoWriter fails writing colorless images #27153
When writing grayscale images (`isColor=false`), `cv::VideoWriter` failed as FFmpeg backend requires input frames to be in a grayscale format. Unlike other backends, FFmpeg doesn't perform this conversion internally and expects the input to be pre-converted. To fix this, I inserted a check in the `CvVideoWriter_FFMPEG_proxy::write` to convert input frames to grayscale when the input has more than 1 channel. If this is true, then the input is converted to a gray image using `cv::cvtColor` (with `cv::COLOR_BGR2GRAY`).
Additionally, as suggested in the issue comments, I have correctly propagated the return value of `CvVideoWriter_FFMPEG::writeFrame` back to the `CvVideoWriter_FFMPEG_proxy::write`. This return value wasn't being used, and `writeFrame` was always returning false since the FFmeg's return code `AVERROR(EAGAIN)` was mistakenly being treated as an error. Now it's handled as a signal for additional input (current input was successfully written, and a new frame should be sent. [See FFmpeg documentation for `avcodec_receive_packet`](https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/6.1/group__lavc__decoding.html)). A warning is displayed if `CvVideoWriter_FFMPEG::writeFrame` returns false. Alternatively, this could be propagated back up to the user, making cv::VideoWriter::write a boolean.
Finally, I added a test case to verify if the grayscale conversion is being done correctly.
Fixes#26276

Fix NaNs in HDR Triangle Weights and Tonemapping and Update LDR Ground Truth in tutorial #27396
The PR closes#27392
Updated the triangle weights to use a small epsilon value instead of zero to prevent NaN issues in HDR processing.
Also fixed a float-to-double division issue by explicitly casting double values to float, which was previously producing garbage values and leading to NaNs in tonemapping.
The current LDR ground truth image used in the tutorial [ldr.png](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/tutorials/others/images/ldr.png) was originally generated using TonemapDurand (check this commit https://github.com/opencv/opencv/commit/833f8d16fab5e57c5e800a55fa0fb08c7a31c3b1), which was moved to opencv_contrib a long time ago in this commit: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/commit/742f22c09bd0c27b450f141bc984f280c8cde98e. However, the current Tonemap implementation in OpenCV main only performs normalization and gamma correction, which produces noticeably different results. This PR updates the LDR grouth truth image in tutorial with the result of TonemapDrago, and tutorials to use TonemapDrago as Tonemap gives a darker image.
Tonemap output:
