- Optimizations set change. Now IPP integrations will provide code for SSE42, AVX2 and AVX512 (SKX) CPUs only. For HW below SSE42 IPP code is disabled.
- Performance regressions fixes for IPP code paths;
- cv::boxFilter integration improvement;
- cv::filter2D integration improvement;
CMake has a long-standing bug/feature (see [here](https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060204.html) and reply [here](https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2015-March/060209.html)) which can mangle certain path variables by attempting to make them into relative paths if you try to set them with CACHE PATH.
Say you have your OpenCV download at `/path/on/my/computer/to/opencv/`. What actually happens is that if you try to set this variable by invoking CMAKE with `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/my/desired/install/path`, what you end up is *not* `/usr/local/` and *not* `my/desired/install/path`, but instead, this monstrosity: `/path/on/my/computer/to/opencv/src/OpenCV-build//my/desired/install/path`.
That is, CMake attempts, for some reason, to turn the path that you passed into a path relative to `${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}`. See the links I posted above: this is a known (and apparently unfixable) issue with CMake.
In OpenCV's case, among other potential issues, this leads to broken paths in `opencv_tests_config.hpp`, which can break the build or cause bizarre behaviour.
The fix for this issue, as stated in my links above, is to test that the variable hasn't been set yet with an `if(NOT DEFINED ...)` before attempting to set it. This is what I've implemented here. I admit I don't know enough about OpenCV's internals to know whether you *really* need to force the install to be in `/usr/local`, but as it stands right now you get *neither* a clean `/usr/local` path *nor* a customized `/my/desired/install/path`, but a broken mess. This change at least allows the user to customize their install directory.
In the meantime, there's a workaround for this, by explicitly defining the variable as a path with `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=my/desired/install/path`. But if this change can save anyone else the hours of headaches that I had today, I'll be happy.
* moved BLAS/LAPACK detection scripts from opencv_contrib/dnn to the main repository.
* trying to fix the bug with undefined symbols sgesdd_ and dgesdd_
* removed extra whitespaces; disabled LAPACK on IOS
Aravis several updates
* Fix adressing camera with id=0
* Aravis buffer property control & status added
* Modify of autoexposure algorith, ream frame ID from aravis + new properites
* Change of macro name
* VideoCapture now returns no frame on camera disconnecion
* Allow aravis-0.4 usage, proper camera object release.
