core: fix use-after-scope when Mat::mul() is given a scalar #29447
### Summary
`cv::Mat::mul()` called with a scalar returns a `MatExpr` that reads a dead stack slot when it is evaluated. In a normal (non-instrumented) build this produces silently wrong values as soon as the slot is reused:
```cpp
static cv::MatExpr makeExpr(const cv::Mat& m)
{
return m.mul(7); // 7.0 is a temporary double in THIS frame
}
cv::Mat matrix(2, 3, CV_32FC1, cv::Scalar(3.0f));
cv::MatExpr expr = makeExpr(matrix);
// ... any further calls reuse the dead frame ...
cv::Mat result = expr; // observed: all 0, expected: all 21
```
Under AddressSanitizer this is the `stack-use-after-scope` reported in #23577, with the same stack trace (`cvt64s` -> `convertAndUnrollScalar` -> `arithm_op` -> `multiply` -> `MatOp_Bin::assign`).
Storing the expression is the documented lazy-evaluation usage of `MatExpr`; the argument is ordinary supported API usage (`mat.hpp` itself shows `Mat C = A.mul(5/B);`).
### Root cause
A scalar argument binds to `_InputArray(const double& val)`, which records the **address** of the temporary with kind `MATX`:
```cpp
inline _InputArray::_InputArray(const double& val)
{ init(FIXED_TYPE + FIXED_SIZE + MATX + CV_64F + ACCESS_READ, &val, Size(1,1)); }
```
`Mat::mul()` then parks `m.getMat()` inside the returned `MatExpr`. For `MATX` kind, `getMat_()` returns a non-owning, non-refcounted header over that stack memory (`return Mat(sz, flags, obj);`). The temporary dies at the end of the full expression, but the `MatExpr` keeps the header, and `MatOp_Bin::assign()` later feeds it to `cv::multiply()`. `Matx`/`Vec` arguments take the same path.
`Mat::mul()` is the only `MatExpr` factory in `matrix_expressions.cpp` that takes an `InputArray`; every other scalar operand there is stored by value in the `Scalar` member (`e.s`), so no other expression path can capture a stack pointer this way.
### Fix
Snapshot the operand with `clone()` unless it is a `Mat`/`UMat`, which keep the current zero-copy behaviour: their headers are refcounted and already safe to defer. Any other `InputArray` kind (a scalar, `Matx`, `Vec`, `std::vector`, an evaluated expression) is a potentially non-owning view, so it is copied once at expression construction, off any hot path.
### Test
Adds `Core_MatExpr.mul_scalar_use_after_scope_23577` to `modules/core/test/test_operations.cpp`. It builds the expression in a helper frame and overwrites the stack before evaluating; the helpers are called through volatile function pointers so they cannot be inlined, which makes the stale read deterministic. The test fails before the fix (result is all 0 instead of all 21) and passes after. It is self-contained: no opencv_extra data is needed.
Verified locally on macOS/AArch64 (Apple clang 17, Release): full `opencv_test_core` passes, and the AddressSanitizer reproducer from the issue is clean after the fix.
Fixes#23577.

FileNode::operator double() and operator float() read an INT node via readInt()
(32-bit), truncating values above INT_MAX -- e.g. an integer 6662329666 from an
externally-produced json/yaml/xml is read back as -1927604926. The node stores
the value as int64 (operator int64_t() already reads it correctly via readLong),
so use readLong() for the floating-point conversions too. Values that fit in
int32 are unchanged (sign-extended); larger ones are now correct.
Reader side of #29363 (the writer side was #29364).
predictOptimalVectorWidth() built its vectorWidths table with 8 entries
(depths CV_8U..CV_16F), but checkOptimalVectorWidth() indexes it by depth.
The 5.x depths CV_16BF, CV_Bool, CV_64U, CV_64S and CV_32U therefore read
past the end of the array; the garbage value can slip past the ckercn <= 0
guard, and the divider normalization loop then shifts the divider to zero,
so "offsets[i] % dividers[i]" raises SIGFPE. The failure is allocation
dependent and shows up as a sequence-dependent crash, e.g. in the OpenCL
Norm tests for CV_32U (cv::norm on a UMat reaches this via ocl_sum, which
calls predictOptimalVectorWidth before its own depth guard bails out).
Size the table to CV_DEPTH_MAX so every depth is in bounds and map the new
fixed-size integer depths to their natural OpenCL vector widths; CV_16BF
has no OpenCL vector type and stays scalar. Add a regression test covering
all depths.

Better Durand-Kerner Initialization #29109
While investigating issue #23644, I have found [this paper](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01935059) which presents a good initialization for the Durand-Kerner algorithm. Basically the idea is to put the initial points equidistantly on a circle on the complex plane. The radius of the circle is computed as
<img width="607" height="178" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ea31b002-c924-4b93-9334-3e59597c896b" />
Note that the $a_i$ coefficients in that paper are reversed compared to OpenCV. That's where the `(n - i)` in the code comes from.
I have implemented just the mean of the $u_i$'s for the sake of simplicity. That's already enough to make the algorithm converge in all cases I have tested. I have used this to test for convergence for many polynomials of order 2 and 4 and coefficients of different magnitudes:
```cpp
TEST(Core_SolvePoly, large_test)
{
cv::Mat_<float> coefs3(1,3);
cv::Mat_<float> coefs5(1,5);
cv::Mat r;
double prec;
for (int c0 = -20; c0 <= 20; c0++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(0) = c0;
for (int c1 = -20; c1 <= 20; c1++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(1) = c1;
for (int c2 = -20; c2 <= 20; c2++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(2) = c2;
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs3, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-6);
}
}
}
for (int c0 = -10; c0 <= 10; c0++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(0) = c0;
for (int c1 = -10; c1 <= 10; c1++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(1) = c1;
for (int c2 = -10; c2 <= 10; c2++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(2) = c2;
for (int c3 = -10; c3 <= 10; c3++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(3) = c3;
for (int c4 = -10; c4 <= 10; c4++)
{
coefs5.at<float>(4) = c4;
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs5, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-2);
}
}
}
}
}
for (int i = -10; i < 10; i++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(0) = pow(2, i);
for (int j = -10; j < 10; j++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(1) = pow(2, j);
for (int k = -10; k < 10; k++)
{
coefs3.at<float>(2) = pow(2, k);
prec = cv::solvePoly(coefs3, r);
EXPECT_LE(prec, 1e-6);
}
}
}
}
```
This test passes, but I have not committed it because it runs for a couple of seconds.
This fixes#23644 and replaces #29055. I have checked #29055 and it does not pass the test above. It seems to be optimized to the precise polynomial of #23644.

## Platform
SpacemiT X60 (K1), 8-core RISC-V RVV 1.0, VLEN=256, 16GB RAM, OS: Bianbu Linux (kernel 6.6.63), GCC 13.2.0, Build: OpenCV 4.14.0-pre, Release, HAL: YES (RVV HAL 0.0.1)
## Motivation
OpenCV's Universal Intrinsics `v_matmul` and `v_matmuladd` have a semantic bug in the RVV scalable backend (`modules/core/include/opencv2/core/hal/intrin_rvv_scalable.hpp`).
The current implementation uses `v_extract_n(v, 0/1/2/3)` with hardcoded indices, assuming the vector holds exactly 4 float lanes (128-bit fixed). On hardware with VLEN=256 (e.g. SpacemiT K1 / BPI-F3), `v_float32` with LMUL=2 holds 16 lanes. As a result, lanes 4–15 silently reuse the inputs from lanes 0–3, producing wrong results.
OpenCV itself acknowledges this in `modules/core/src/matmul.simd.hpp`:
// v_matmuladd for RVV is 128-bit only but not scalable,
// this will fail the test Core_Transform.accuracy
The RVV scalable `transform_32f` path has been disabled because of this bug. However, the existing `TheTest<R>::test_matmul()` only checked the first 4-lane group (the outer loop was effectively hardcoded to `int i = 0`), so the bug was never caught by CI even on wide-vector backends.
## Modification
**Test fix** (`modules/core/test/test_intrin_utils.hpp`): Expanded `test_matmul()` to iterate over all 4-lane groups:
// Before (only checked lane group i=0)
int i = 0;
for (int j = i; j < i + 4; ++j) { ... }
// After (checks all lane groups)
for (int i = 0; i < VTraits<R>::vlanes(); i += 4)
{
for (int j = i; j < i + 4; ++j) { ... }
}
**Kernel fix** (`modules/core/include/opencv2/core/hal/intrin_rvv_scalable.hpp`): Rewrote `v_matmul` and `v_matmuladd` to process all 4-lane groups correctly. Each group of 4 lanes now independently computes the full matrix multiply using its own `v[i], v[i+1], v[i+2], v[i+3]` inputs. The `transform_32f` RVV path in `matmul.simd.hpp` remains disabled as the autovectorized path shows better performance on current hardware.
## Experiment 1: Bug reproduced on SpacemiT K1 (VLEN=256)
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter="*intrin*"
Result: `hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE` FAILED with 24 failures, all from lane groups i=4, i=8, i=12 (lanes 4–15).
Representative failures from `v_matmul` (line 1526):
i=4 j=4: actual=158 expected=56
i=4 j=5: actual=166.39999 expected=59.200001
i=8 j=8: actual=314.39999 expected=68.800003
i=12 j=12: actual=512.40002 expected=81.599998
Representative failures from `v_matmuladd` (line 1540):
i=4 j=4: actual=147.5 expected=51.5
i=8 j=8: actual=284.70001 expected=60.700001
i=12 j=12: actual=453.89999 expected=69.900002
Lane group i=0 (j=0..3) passed correctly — confirming the bug only affects lanes beyond the first 4, exactly as expected from the hardcoded `v_extract_n(v, 0/1/2/3)` implementation.
## Experiment 2: Both tests pass after fixing the kernel
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter='hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE'
[ OK ] hal_intrin128.float32x4_BASELINE (1859 ms)
[ PASSED ] 1 test.
./opencv_test_core --gtest_filter='Core_Transform.accuracy'
[ OK ] Core_Transform.accuracy (819 ms)
[ PASSED ] 1 test.
## Experiment 3: RVV transform path remains disabled (performance regression)
After re-enabling the RVV scalable `transform_32f` path experimentally, benchmarks showed a significant regression vs the compiler-autovectorized scalar path (CV_32FC3):
Size RVV path Scalar path Ratio
640x480 7.83 ms 1.48 ms 5.3x slower
1280x720 23.96 ms 5.17 ms 4.6x slower
1920x1080 53.76 ms 10.12 ms 5.3x slower
The compiler-autovectorized path outperforms the hand-written RVV kernel for this workload, consistent with the original comment in `matmul.simd.hpp`. The `transform_32f` RVV path is therefore kept disabled in this PR. The kernel fix to `v_matmul`/`v_matmuladd` remains necessary for correctness on wide-vector hardware, and the expanded test ensures the bug cannot regress silently in future.

Rvv core norm #29057Fixesopencv/opencv#29052
### Problem
`Core_Norm/ElemWiseTest.accuracy/0` failed on RISC-V with RVV enabled when computing norm for `CV_16S` data.
The reported failing case was:
```text
src[0] ~ 16sC4 3-dim (1 x 116 x 40)
```
The expected norm result was a large positive `double`, but the RVV path returned an incorrect value:
```text
expected: 3370900308417
actual: -173296
```
This indicates that the problem was not in the public `cv::norm()` API, but in the RVV HAL implementation used for the `CV_16S` L2/L2SQR accumulation path.
### Root Cause
The RVV HAL has a specialized implementation for `CV_16S` L2 norm:
```cpp
NormL2_RVV<short, double>
```
The implementation widens `int16` values, squares them, converts the widened products to `float64`, accumulates them in an `f64m8` vector, and finally reduces the vector to a scalar `double`:
```cpp
auto s = __riscv_vfmv_v_f_f64m8(0, vlmax);
...
auto v_mul = __riscv_vwmul(v, v, vl);
s = __riscv_vfadd_tu(s, s, __riscv_vfwcvt_f(v_mul, vl), vl);
...
return __riscv_vfmv_f(__riscv_vfredosum(...));
```
The bug was in the scalar initializer passed to `__riscv_vfredosum`.
Before this patch, the code created an `f64m1` scalar vector but used the maximum vector length for `e32m1`:
```cpp
__riscv_vfmv_s_f_f64m1(0, __riscv_vsetvlmax_e32m1())
```
This is inconsistent: the vector type is `f64m1`, so the VL used to initialize it must correspond to `e64m1`, not `e32m1`.
Add ARMPL support for DFT Function #28664
- This PR introduces hal/armpl/ with implementation of 1D, 2D DFT and DCT routines using ARM Performance Libraries as a custom HAL replacement for OpenCV's DFT & DCT Function.
- ArmPL MSI package is automatically downloaded and extracted via CMake when building on Windows ARM64, with a WITH_ARMPL option that defaults to ON for that platform.
- Forward and inverse real DFT calls in dxt.cpp are routed through ArmPL when available, with scaling applied only when needed.
- Test error thresholds in test_dxt.cpp are relaxed (from 1e-5 to 2e-4 for float ) to account for numerical differences between ArmPL and OpenCV's reference DFT results.

dnn: fix dst_dp assertion in broadcast for size-1 dims causing crash in lightglue.onnx model #28692
The original assertion CV_Assert(dst_dp == 1) does not handle valid cases where the innermost dimension size is 1 like [10, 5, 1], resulting in dst_dp == 0.
This occurs during broadcasting in LightGlue ONNX model and leads to assertion failure.
Allow dst_dp == 0 for size-1 dimensions to handle this edge case correctly.

### Description
Fixes https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28619
Moves the "empty key" check before the backward do-while scan in `YAMLParser::parseKey()`.
**Problem:** When parsing a YAML mapping with an empty key (e.g. `: 10` at column 0), `endptr == ptr` after the forward scan finds `:`. The do-while loop `do c = *--endptr; while(c == ' ')` always executes at least once, so it decrements `endptr` to `ptr-1` and reads one byte before the heap allocation (ASan: heap-buffer-overflow READ of size 1).
**Fix:** Check `endptr == ptr` before entering the backward loop. If the key is empty, raise `CV_PARSE_ERROR_CPP("An empty key")` immediately without the OOB read.
This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Fix absdiff with int arguments #28267
I believe the fix to the undefined behavior described in #27080 is simply casting to unsigned before subtraction, because
1. casting int to unsigned is well-defined; negative values get represented modulo $2^{32}$
2. overflow in unsigned subtraction is well-defined and the results are modulo $2^{32}$
Since we are computing everything modulo $2^{32}$ and the result must always be a non-negative number below $2^{32}$, this computation should be well-defined and correct.
I have verified this on ARM Apple Clang and on x64 Linux gcc with `-O3` and both produce the correct values in the reproducer of #27080. The test I have added fails with the integer overflow on both platforms I have tested. Perhaps @fengyuentau could verify if this also fixes the issue on the platforms he has tested?
I have added a fix and removed the workarounds. I recommended this approach in #28229, but he decided to revert it.

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.

core: fix solveCubic numerical instability via coefficient normalization (fixes#27748) #28117
Summary
This PR fixes numerical instability in `cv::solveCubic` when the leading coefficient `a` is non-zero but extremely small relative to other coefficients (Issue #27748).
It introduces a **normalization step** that scales all coefficients by their maximum magnitude before solving. This ensures robust detection of when the equation should degenerate to a quadratic solver, without breaking valid cubic equations that happen to have small coefficients (e.g., scaled by 1e-9).
The Problem (Issue #27748)
The previous implementation checked `if (a == 0)` to decide whether to use the cubic or quadratic formula.
- When `a` is extremely small (e.g., 1e-17) but not exactly zero, and other coefficients are normal (e.g., 5.0), the standard cubic formula suffers from catastrophic cancellation and overflow, producing incorrect roots (e.g., 1e14).
The Fix
1. Normalization: The solver now finds `max_coeff = max(|a|, |b|, |c|, |d|)` and scales all coefficients by `1.0 / max_coeff`.
2. Relative Threshold: It then checks `if (abs(a) < epsilon)` on the *normalized* coefficients.
Why this is better than previous attempts
In a previous attempt (PR #28057), a simple absolute check `abs(a) < epsilon` was proposed. That approach was rejected because it failed for scaled equations.
