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.

Allow TIFF compression schemes for 32F#28785
Related to [https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28775](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28775)
Previously, only 32FC3+SGILOG could be specified for TIFF encoding. But when floats use quantization, compression schemes can be efficient even on 32F data. This PR will allow them.

I just don't know what kind of accuracy/performance tests should be added.
On systems like OpenBSD, CBLAS functions are provided by a standalone
libcblas that is not returned by find_package(LAPACK). This caused link
failures when building libopencv_core because cblas_sgemm and friends
from hal_internal.cpp could not be resolved.
Fixes#28768
Fixes redundant code in Cloning::illuminationChange() which performed
unnecessary copyTo operations. This satisfies Issue #22056.
Testing: No functional changes made; logic identical to before.
Resolves#22056
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.

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.

dnn: fix Resize initNgraph for two-input case #28724
## Summary
Fixes the issue #28707
When a Resize/Upsample layer has two inputs, the data tensor and a reference tensor whose **shape** defines the output spatial size, the OpenVINO/NGRAPH backend's `initNgraph()` was ignoring `nodes[1]` entirely and relying solely on the `outHeight`/`outWidth` member variables.
These variables are set by `finalize()` from the pre-computed output blob dimensions. However, when the output shape is determined dynamically at runtime from the second input, `finalize()` sets them from the live tensor, but the OpenVINO backend calls `initNgraph()` to build a static compiled graph. If the member variables are 0 at that point, the compiled `Interpolate` node gets hardcoded with `{0, 0}` output dimensions, causing CV_Assert failure: {N,C,0,0} vs {N,C,H2,W2}
BFMatcher::match() with crossCheck=true previously skipped the OCL
dispatch in knnMatchImpl entirely, falling back to CPU even when UMat
inputs and an OpenCL device were available. This adds
ocl_matchWithCrossCheck() for CV_32FC1 descriptors (e.g. SIFT, SURF):
both the forward and reverse nearest-neighbour passes run on the GPU
via the existing ocl_matchSingle() kernel, then the cross-check filter
runs on the CPU. Only two small index arrays (1×N ints) are downloaded
— the O(N²×D) distance work stays on the device.
The OCL dispatch in knnMatchImpl is also refactored to unify the
Mat/UMat train collection selection before branching on crossCheck.
On a NVIDIA RTX 3060 with SIFT descriptors the OCL path is 6–9×
faster than CPU at 2k–10k features per image. Binary descriptors
(ORB, BRIEF — CV_8U) are unaffected; the existing type guard in
ocl_matchSingle keeps them on the CPU path as before.
Also adds a correctness test (Features2d_BFMatcher_CrossCheck) and an
OCL perf test (BruteForceMatcherFixture/MatchCrossCheck).
Fixes#28396 : out-of-bounds read in SIMD type conversion #28397Fixes#28396Fixes#27080
The vx_load_expand function in WASM intrinsics was using
wasm_v128_load which always loads a full 128-bit register
(16 bytes), even when the function only needed 8 elements.
For example, when converting uint8 to float32:
- vx_load_expand needs 8 uint8 elements
- But wasm_v128_load reads 16 bytes from memory
- This causes an 8-byte out-of-bounds read

Convert exportResource() and loadResource() to use try-with-resources
to ensure InputStream, FileOutputStream, and ByteArrayOutputStream are
properly closed even when exceptions occur.
Also remove printStackTrace() in exportResource(), as the exception is
already rethrown as CvException with the original exception details.
