Add CAP_PROP_IMAGE_SEQ_START #28844
Resolves https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28843
New CAP_PROP_IMAGE_SEQ_START as an open only property for setting the first frame index when a VideoCap is opening with pattern, squashes test_images TODO.
`CAP_FFMPEG`: forwarded to the image2 demuxers "start_number" option.
`CAP_IMAGES`: Now a WithParams variant so the value reaches open() before probe runs, replaces 0 or 1 auto probe for sequence start.
Property is opt in so default behavior is not affected.
Please note that G_STREAMER is not considered here as I think its out of scope, it already has a "start-index" property and its backend is driven by the pipeline strings rather then these printf patterns.
If an alternative solution is preferred that will not involve a new property or promoting CAP_IMAGES to a "WithParams" variant I don't mind implementing.

objdetect: clear stale outputs in CharucoDetector::detectDiamonds #28818
## Summary
- clear `diamondCorners`/`diamondIds` outputs at the beginning of `CharucoDetector::detectDiamonds`
- prevent stale detections from previous calls when the current call has fewer than 4 markers or finds no diamonds
- add a regression test that pre-fills outputs, calls `detectDiamonds` with 3 markers, and verifies outputs are empty
Fixes#28783.
## Testing
- built `opencv_test_objdetect` locally
- ran `opencv_test_objdetect --gtest_filter=Charuco.detectDiamondsClearsOutputsWithLessThanFourMarkers`
- result: PASS

Previously, OpenCL in-place flip kernels (rows/cols/both) could produce
incorrect results compared to the CPU implementation on strict OpenCL
drivers such as Mesa. The kernels relied on implicit load–load–store–store
(LLSS) ordering when src and dst alias, which is not guaranteed by the
OpenCL memory model and may be reordered.
Some vendor drivers happened to preserve the expected ordering, masking
the issue, but Mesa correctly exposes the undefined behavior.
This change introduces dedicated in-place flip kernels that:
- Explicitly detect in-place execution (src == dst)
- Stage data through local memory tiles
- Enforce correct ordering with work-group barriers
- Avoid global memory read/write aliasing hazards
The non in-place path is unchanged.
With this fix, OpenCL in-place flip produces correct and consistent results
across drivers, matches CPU behavior, and complies with the OpenCL memory
model.

Avfoundation fractional fps seek fix#28833
Accompanied by PR on [opencv_extra](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_extra/pull/1345)
Fixes https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28831
AVFoundation backend seeking slowly drifts for any video which has a non-integer frame rate.
Narrowing of a float `mAssetTrack.nominalFrameRate` to int32_t means fractional rates are treated as integer when seeking by frame number.
Solution implemented in this branch is to use the tracks native rational frame duration when seeking (and available).
I've also included an AVF only test case which uses a new test file in opencv_extra. This test just compares the video caps expected ms vs actual for a known rate file (23.976).
Could consider extending this test to more then just AVF, as from what I can see there are no fractional rate tests / files.

The existing 2-pass cross-check implementation requires both forward and
reverse distance computations on GPU, followed by CPU-side filtering.
This adds a single-pass kernel using int64 atomics to eliminate the
reverse pass. The BruteForceMatch_CrossCheckMatch kernel performs forward
matching and tracks best train->query mappings in one GPU pass, reducing
memory transfers. Falls back to 2-pass approach on devices without
cl_khr_int64_base_atomics extension.
Tested on NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti: 1.65x-1.97x faster than 2-pass GPU,
3.49x-7.33x faster than CPU at 640x480 to 1920x1080 resolutions.
build: fix bundled protobuf headers being overridden by system-installed protobuf #28745
On macOS with Apple Clang 17, the compiler implicitly injects `/usr/local/include` as a high-priority user include (`-I`). The `SYSTEM` keyword in `target_include_directories` emits `-isystem` for the bundled protobuf path, which is searched after user `-I` paths, allowing a system-installed protobuf v4+ (which requires C++17 and abseil-cpp) to override the bundled headers.
Removing `SYSTEM` causes CMake to emit `-I` instead of `-isystem`, placing the bundled path before the implicit system include, restoring the intended header resolution order regardless of what protobuf version is installed on the host.
### Background
Apple Clang 17 (shipped with macOS 26 Tahoe Command Line Tools) changed the compiler driver behavior: it now unconditionally adds `-I/usr/local/include` to the search path, which is where Homebrew installs headers. Previous Apple Clang versions either omitted this path or added it as a lower-priority system include.
When Homebrew's `protobuf` is installed (v4+, e.g. `33.4_1`), its headers at `/usr/local/include/google/protobuf/` are resolved before the bundled `3rdparty/protobuf/src/` because `SYSTEM PUBLIC` in `target_include_directories` causes the bundled path to be emitted as `-isystem`, which ranks below `-I` in compiler search order. This was confirmed by inspecting the generated `flags.make`:
```
# before fix
-isystem /path/to/opencv/3rdparty/protobuf/src
# after fix
-I /path/to/opencv/3rdparty/protobuf/src (first in the include list)
```
The system protobuf v4+ headers require C++17 and abseil-cpp. Since OpenCV 4.x compiles with `-std=c++11`, every translation unit in `3rdparty/protobuf/` fails:
```
/usr/local/include/google/protobuf/port_def.inc: error: Protobuf only supports C++17 and newer.
/usr/local/include/absl/base/policy_checks.h: error: C++ versions less than C++17 are not supported.
```
Note that `include_directories(BEFORE ...)` on the line above was intended to prevent exactly this, but it was overridden by `target_include_directories(SYSTEM PUBLIC ...)` deduplicating the path into a single `-isystem` entry. This is essentially the same class of problem tracked in #13328.
### Impact
The change is a one-line diff. Removing `SYSTEM` has no effect on Linux or Windows since those toolchains do not inject `/usr/local/include` implicitly. Warning suppression for protobuf headers in dependent modules is unaffected because OpenCV already applies explicit `-Wno-*` flags for all protobuf-related warnings in `3rdparty/protobuf/CMakeLists.txt`.
### Tested on
- macOS 26.3 (Tahoe), Apple Clang 17.0.0 (`clang-1700.6.4.2`), Homebrew `protobuf 33.4_1`, full build passes with `BUILD_PROTOBUF=ON`.
Fixes#28743, related to #27886.

core(opencl): fix inplace transpose race by enforcing LLSS ordering via local barrier #28686
The former inplace transpose implementation allowed a reordering of global-memory operations across work-items. Specifically, the intended LLSS (Load–Load–Store–Store) access pattern could be reordered by the GPU into LSLS (Load–Store–Load–Store), causing partially written tiles to be observed by other work-items and producing incorrect output.
This patch introduces a tiled LDS-based algorithm and adds an explicit:
barrier(CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE);
between the load and store phases.

N/A: a Python unit test is added in `modules/python/test/test_mat.py`. No external test data required.
- [x] The feature is well documented and sample code can be built with the project CMake
N/A: this is a bug fix, not a new feature. No documentation update needed.
### Problem
Passing a numpy array with shape `(H, W, 0)` (0 channels) to any OpenCV function that accepts a `Mat` argument (e.g. `cv2.resize`, `cv2.warpAffine`, `cv2.blur`) causes a **segfault**.
**Reproducer:**
```python
import cv2
import numpy as np
arr = np.zeros((100, 100, 0), np.uint8)
cv2.resize(arr, (200, 200)) # segfault
```
### Root Cause
In `modules/python/src2/cv2_convert.cpp`, the numpy→Mat conversion checks channel validity only against `CV_CN_MAX` (upper bound):
```cpp
if (channels > CV_CN_MAX) // channels=0 passes this check
```
With `channels=0`, `CV_MAKETYPE(0, 0)` produces `type=-8`, which corrupts the Mat's internal type field and causes undefined behavior downstream.
### Fix
Extend the check to also reject `channels < 1`:
```cpp
if (channels < 1 || channels > CV_CN_MAX)
```
**After fix:**
```
cv2.error: src unable to wrap channels, invalid count (0, must be in [1, 512])
```
### Notes
- This affects all functions that accept a `Mat` input, not just `cv2.resize`
- The same bug exists in the `5.x` branch
- A 0-channel array has no valid OpenCV Mat representation; rejecting it with a clear error is the correct behavior and poses no backward-compatibility risk (the previous behavior was a crash)
videoio(gstreamer): fix timestamp drift and color negotiation on Apple #28535
This commit addresses two issues on macOS with Apple M3 hardware:
1. Replaces floating-point timestamp math with gst_util_uint64_scale_int to ensure nanosecond precision.
2. Explicitly forces I420 format in the encoding profile to prevent hardware encoder negotiation failure.

core: add NEON implementation for rotate function #28609
- This PR adds a NEON intrinsics-based implementation for the rotate function in matrix_transform.cpp for Windows-ARM64.
- The optimized implementation uses ARM NEON intrinsics to accelerate the internal transpose step used by the rotate function.
- In the x64 architecture, the rotate operation benefits from IPP-based optimized implementations. However, on ARM64, the execution falls back to the scalar implementation, which results in lower performance.
- To achieve performance parity with x64, a NEON-based SIMD implementation has been added for ARM64.
- After introducing these changes, the rotate function showed noticeable performance improvements on ARM64 platforms.
