Anand Mahesh 60c705e93b Merge pull request #29450 from manand881:feat/ocl-sift-descriptor
Feat: add OpenCL SIFT detector and descriptor #29450

Add OpenCL implementation of SIFT detector and
descriptor extractor, triggered via T-API when
the caller passes a UMat. Targets the features
module (5.x directory layout).

Implementation:
- 4 OpenCL kernels in sift.cl: gaussian_blur_h, gaussian_blur_v, detect_and_orient, and compute_descriptor.
- Host-side dispatch in sift.dispatch.cpp using CV_OCL_RUN_ macro, pure additions to the existing CPU path.
- T-API entry: detectAndCompute, detect, compute.

Gating and fallback:
- 64-bit only. 32-bit falls back to CPU via sizeof(void*) > 4 guard.
- OpenCL 1.1 or later required. Devices below 1.1 fall back to CPU.
- No-OpenCL builds fall back to CPU. Verified with WITH_OPENCL=OFF: 79 tests pass, same 3 pre-existing failures (DISK/AFFINE_FEATURE missing .npy data files).

Correctness:
- nOctaveLayers > 3 OOB fix: gk_coeffs and gk_radius resized to nOctaveLayers+2 via std::vector (were fixed size 5).
- Regression test for nOctaveLayers > 3.
- 10 OCL SIFT tests pass, 60 OCL tests pass, 139 features tests pass (3 pre-existing failures unrelated to SIFT).

Performance optimizations:
- native_exp, native_sqrt, native_recip for hardware approximations (OpenCL 1.1 builtins).
- Eliminate intermediate rawDst[128] buffer; normalize in-place from hist[].
- Non-blocking kernel launches with single ocl::finish() before host reads keypoint count.
- Custom separable Gaussian blur for init image bypassing T-API GaussianBlur dispatch overhead.
- exp2() replaces pow(2.0f, x); scl_octv reused.
- Hoist UMat tmp allocation out of pyramid loop.
- Interleaved keypoint output buffer (6 arrays to 1) for coalesced writes and fewer copies.
- Consolidated descriptor keypoint copies (2N to 2 host-to-device transfers).
- std::map replaced with flat vector indexed by pyramid level (O(1) vs O(log n)).
- DoG computed on-the-fly in detect kernel via READ_DOG macro, eliminating 45 subtract() calls and dog_pack allocation.
- Shared gauss_packs between detect and descriptor, eliminating duplicate copyTo.
- Cross-level packing per octave: one descriptor kernel launch per octave instead of per level. Keypoint buffer expanded to 5 floats (added layer index). Levels packed into single UMat. Reduces kernel launch overhead and improves GPU utilization for octaves with few keypoints.
- __local memory tiling for Gaussian blur kernels with 16x16 workgroups and cooperative halo loading. Reduces global memory traffic.
- Direct uchar descriptor output for CV_8U: kernel writes convert_uchar_sat_rte directly instead of float buffer + host convertTo pass. Eliminates temp allocation and extra kernel launch.

Performance result (stitching/s2.jpg resized):
- DetectAndCompute: OCL wins at >=960x540 (1.32x at 960x540, 1.80x at 1280x720, 1.87x at 1920x1080).
- Compute-only: OCL wins at >=1280x720 (1.60x at 1280x720, 1.78x at 1920x1080).

Tests:
- modules/features/test/ocl/test_feature2d.cpp with OCL SIFT correctness tests on real images (leuven img1.png, a3.png, s2.jpg).
- DescriptorType, Regression_26139, and Batch tests mirror CPU coverage (CV_8U descriptor type, single-keypoint edge case, 6-image detect+compute).
- modules/features/perf/opencl/perf_sift.cpp with real image and 5-size sweep.
- CPU SIFT_Scaled fixture added to perf_feature2d.cpp for aligned OCL vs CPU comparison.
