[GSoC] High Level API and Samples for Scene Text Detection and Recognition
* APIs and samples for scene text detection and recognition
* update APIs and tutorial for Text Detection and Recognition
* API updates:
(1) put decodeType into struct Voc
(2) optimize the post-processing of DB
* sample update:
(1) add transformation into scene_text_spotting.cpp
(2) modify text_detection.cpp with API update
* update tutorial
* simplify text recognition API
update tutorial
* update impl usage in recognize() and detect()
* dnn: refactoring public API of TextRecognitionModel/TextDetectionModel
* update provided models
update opencv.bib
* dnn: adjust text rectangle angle
* remove points ordering operation in model.cpp
* update gts of DB test in test_model.cpp
* dnn: ensure to keep text rectangle angle
- avoid 90/180 degree turns
* dnn(text): use quadrangle result in TextDetectionModel API
* dnn: update Text Detection API
(1) keep points' order consistent with (bl, tl, tr, br) in unclip
(2) update contourScore with boundingRect
changed OpenCV license from BSD to Apache 2 license
* as discussed and announced earlier, changed OpenCV license from BSD to Apache 2. Many files still contain old-style copyrights though
* changed wording a bit; preserve the original OpenCV BSD license
* fixed#17044
1. fixed Python part of the tutorial about using OpenCV XML-YAML-JSON I/O functionality from C++ and Python.
2. added startWriteStruct() and endWriteStruct() methods to FileStorage
3. modifed FileStorage::write() methods to make them work well inside sequences, not only mappings.
* try to fix the doc builder
* added Python regression test for FileStorage I/O API ([TODO] iterating through long sequences can be very slow)
* fixed yaml testing
Updated the Windows Visual Studio Image Watch tutorial to include download links to the latest versions of Visual Studio Image Watch for newer Visual Studio versions.
* Add python version of panorama_stitching_rotating_camera and perspective_correction
* Updated code
* added in the docs
* added python code in the docs
* docs change
* Add java tutorial as well
* Add toggle in documentation
* Added the link for Java code
* format code
* Refactored code
* Added java code for meanshift and optical_flow
* added java code for module video
* added appropriate spaces in codes
* converted absolute path to command line arguments
* added spaces at appropriate places
Python code examples for file IO in xml and yml format
* Initial "Pythonization" of file_input_output.cpp
* Moved file_input_output.py to correct location
* Nearly done Pythonizing file_input_output.cpp
* Python equivalent of file_input_output.py created
* Started Pythonizing camera_calibration.cpp
* Completed Python tutorial/sample code for file_input_output
* Resolved whitespace issues
* Removed tabs in file_input_output.cpp
* Patched import order and wrapped code in main function
* Changed string to docstring format in help file
* Updated link to Python example code
