The function computes and returns the coordinate of a donor pixel corresponding to the specified

cv::BORDER_WRAP mode in the horizontal direction, cv::BORDER_REFLECT_101 in the vertical direction and
want to compute value of the "virtual" pixel Point(-5, 100) in a floating-point image img , it

The function copies the source image into the middle of the destination image. The areas to the
left, to the right, above and below the copied source image will be filled with extrapolated
pixels. This is not what filtering functions based on it do (they extrapolate pixels on-fly), but
what other more complex functions, including your own, may do to simplify image boundary handling.

The function supports the mode when src is already in the middle of dst . In this case, the
function does not copy src itself but simply constructs the border, for example:

@code{.cpp}
    // let border be the same in all directions
    int border=2;
    // constructs a larger image to fit both the image and the border
    Mat gray_buf(rgb.rows + border*2, rgb.cols + border*2, rgb.depth());
    // select the middle part of it w/o copying data
    Mat gray(gray_canvas, Rect(border, border, rgb.cols, rgb.rows));
    // convert image from RGB to grayscale
    cvtColor(rgb, gray, COLOR_RGB2GRAY);
    // form a border in-place
    copyMakeBorder(gray, gray_buf, border, border,
                   border, border, BORDER_REPLICATE);
    // now do some custom filtering ...
    ...
@endcode
@note When the source image is a part (ROI) of a bigger image, the function will try to use the
pixels outside of the ROI to form a border. To disable this feature and always do extrapolation, as
if src was not a ROI, use borderType | BORDER_ISOLATED.

@param src Source image.
@param dst Destination image of the same type as src and the size Size(src.cols+left+right,
src.rows+top+bottom) .
@param top
@param bottom
@param left
@param right Parameter specifying how many pixels in each direction from the source image rectangle
to extrapolate. For example, top=1, bottom=1, left=1, right=1 mean that 1 pixel-wide border needs
to be built.
@param borderType Border type. See borderInterpolate for details.

when normType=NORM_MINMAX (for dense arrays only). The optional mask specifies a sub-array to be
normalized. This means that the norm or min-n-max are calculated over the sub-array, and then this
sub-array is modified to be normalized. If you want to only use the mask to calculate the norm or
min-max but modify the whole array, you can use norm and Mat::convertTo.

In case of sparse matrices, only the non-zero values are analyzed and transformed. Because of this,
the range transformation for sparse matrices is not allowed since it can shift the zero level.

*   Vertical flipping of the image (flipCode == 0) to switch between
    top-left and bottom-left image origin. This is a typical operation
    in video processing on Microsoft Windows\* OS.
*   Horizontal flipping of the image with the subsequent horizontal
    shift and absolute difference calculation to check for a
    vertical-axis symmetry (flipCode \> 0).
*   Simultaneous horizontal and vertical flipping of the image with
    the subsequent shift and absolute difference calculation to check
    for a central symmetry (flipCode \< 0).
*   Reversing the order of point arrays (flipCode \> 0 or
    flipCode == 0).

\f[\begin{bmatrix} Re Y_{0,0} & Re Y_{0,1} & Im Y_{0,1} & Re Y_{0,2} & Im Y_{0,2} &  \cdots & Re Y_{0,N/2-1} & Im Y_{0,N/2-1} & Re Y_{0,N/2}  \\ Re Y_{1,0} & Re Y_{1,1} & Im Y_{1,1} & Re Y_{1,2} & Im Y_{1,2} &  \cdots & Re Y_{1,N/2-1} & Im Y_{1,N/2-1} & Re Y_{1,N/2}  \\ Im Y_{1,0} & Re Y_{2,1} & Im Y_{2,1} & Re Y_{2,2} & Im Y_{2,2} &  \cdots & Re Y_{2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{1,N/2}  \\ \hdotsfor{9} \\ Re Y_{M/2-1,0} &  Re Y_{M-3,1}  & Im Y_{M-3,1} &  \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-3,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-3,N/2-1}& Re Y_{M/2-1,N/2}  \\ Im Y_{M/2-1,0} &  Re Y_{M-2,1}  & Im Y_{M-2,1} &  \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-2,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-2,N/2-1}& Im Y_{M/2-1,N/2}  \\ Re Y_{M/2,0}  &  Re Y_{M-1,1} &  Im Y_{M-1,1} &  \hdotsfor{3} & Re Y_{M-1,N/2-1} & Im Y_{M-1,N/2-1}& Re Y_{M/2,N/2} \end{bmatrix}\f]

In case of 1D transform of a real vector, the output looks like the first row of the matrix above.

So, the function chooses an operation mode depending on the flags and size of the input array:
-   If DFT_ROWS is set or the input array has a single row or single column, the function
    performs a 1D forward or inverse transform of each row of a matrix when DFT_ROWS is set.
    Otherwise, it performs a 2D transform.
-   If the input array is real and DFT_INVERSE is not set, the function performs a forward 1D or
    2D transform:
    -   When DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT is set, the output is a complex matrix of the same size as
        input.
    -   When DFT_COMPLEX_OUTPUT is not set, the output is a real matrix of the same size as
        input. In case of 2D transform, it uses the packed format as shown above. In case of a
        single 1D transform, it looks like the first row of the matrix above. In case of
        multiple 1D transforms (when using the DFT_ROWS flag), each row of the output matrix
        looks like the first row of the matrix above.
-   If the input array is complex and either DFT_INVERSE or DFT_REAL_OUTPUT are not set, the
    output is a complex array of the same size as input. The function performs a forward or
    inverse 1D or 2D transform of the whole input array or each row of the input array
    independently, depending on the flags DFT_INVERSE and DFT_ROWS.
-   When DFT_INVERSE is set and the input array is real, or it is complex but DFT_REAL_OUTPUT
    is set, the output is a real array of the same size as input. The function performs a 1D or 2D
    inverse transformation of the whole input array or each individual row, depending on the flags
    DFT_INVERSE and DFT_ROWS.

If DFT_SCALE is set, the scaling is done after the transformation.

Unlike dct , the function supports arrays of arbitrary size. But only those arrays are processed
efficiently, whose sizes can be factorized in a product of small prime numbers (2, 3, and 5 in the
current implementation). Such an efficient DFT size can be calculated using the getOptimalDFTSize
method.

The sample below illustrates how to calculate a DFT-based convolution of two 2D real arrays:
@code
    void convolveDFT(InputArray A, InputArray B, OutputArray C)
    {
        // reallocate the output array if needed
        C.create(abs(A.rows - B.rows)+1, abs(A.cols - B.cols)+1, A.type());
        Size dftSize;
        // calculate the size of DFT transform
        dftSize.width = getOptimalDFTSize(A.cols + B.cols - 1);
        dftSize.height = getOptimalDFTSize(A.rows + B.rows - 1);

        // allocate temporary buffers and initialize them with 0's
        Mat tempA(dftSize, A.type(), Scalar::all(0));
        Mat tempB(dftSize, B.type(), Scalar::all(0));

        // copy A and B to the top-left corners of tempA and tempB, respectively
        Mat roiA(tempA, Rect(0,0,A.cols,A.rows));
        A.copyTo(roiA);
        Mat roiB(tempB, Rect(0,0,B.cols,B.rows));
        B.copyTo(roiB);

        // now transform the padded A & B in-place;
        // use "nonzeroRows" hint for faster processing
        dft(tempA, tempA, 0, A.rows);
        dft(tempB, tempB, 0, B.rows);

        // multiply the spectrums;
        // the function handles packed spectrum representations well
        mulSpectrums(tempA, tempB, tempA);

        // transform the product back from the frequency domain.
        // Even though all the result rows will be non-zero,
        // you need only the first C.rows of them, and thus you
        // pass nonzeroRows == C.rows
        dft(tempA, tempA, DFT_INVERSE + DFT_SCALE, C.rows);

        // now copy the result back to C.
        tempA(Rect(0, 0, C.cols, C.rows)).copyTo(C);

        // all the temporary buffers will be deallocated automatically
    }
@endcode
To optimize this sample, consider the following approaches:
-   Since nonzeroRows != 0 is passed to the forward transform calls and since A and B are copied to
    the top-left corners of tempA and tempB, respectively, it is not necessary to clear the whole
    tempA and tempB. It is only necessary to clear the tempA.cols - A.cols ( tempB.cols - B.cols)
    rightmost columns of the matrices.
-   This DFT-based convolution does not have to be applied to the whole big arrays, especially if B
    is significantly smaller than A or vice versa. Instead, you can calculate convolution by parts.
    To do this, you need to split the output array C into multiple tiles. For each tile, estimate
    which parts of A and B are required to calculate convolution in this tile. If the tiles in C are
    too small, the speed will decrease a lot because of repeated work. In the ultimate case, when
    each tile in C is a single pixel, the algorithm becomes equivalent to the naive convolution
    algorithm. If the tiles are too big, the temporary arrays tempA and tempB become too big and
    there is also a slowdown because of bad cache locality. So, there is an optimal tile size
    somewhere in the middle.
-   If different tiles in C can be calculated in parallel and, thus, the convolution is done by
    parts, the loop can be threaded.

All of the above improvements have been implemented in matchTemplate and filter2D . Therefore, by
using them, you can get the performance even better than with the above theoretically optimal
implementation. Though, those two functions actually calculate cross-correlation, not convolution,
so you need to "flip" the second convolution operand B vertically and horizontally using flip .

The function cv::dct performs a forward or inverse discrete Cosine transform (DCT) of a 1D or 2D

    \f[Y = C^{(N)}  \cdot X\f]

    \f[X =  \left (C^{(N)} \right )^{-1}  \cdot Y =  \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T  \cdot Y\f]
    (since \f$C^{(N)}\f$ is an orthogonal matrix, \f$C^{(N)} \cdot \left(C^{(N)}\right)^T = I\f$ )

    \f[Y = C^{(N)}  \cdot X  \cdot \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T\f]
-   Inverse 2D Cosine transform of M x N matrix:
    \f[X =  \left (C^{(N)} \right )^T  \cdot X  \cdot C^{(N)}\f]

The function chooses the mode of operation by looking at the flags and size of the input array:
-   If (flags & DCT_INVERSE) == 0 , the function does a forward 1D or 2D transform. Otherwise, it
    is an inverse 1D or 2D transform.
-   If (flags & DCT_ROWS) != 0 , the function performs a 1D transform of each row.
-   If the array is a single column or a single row, the function performs a 1D transform.
-   If none of the above is true, the function performs a 2D transform.

@note Currently dct supports even-size arrays (2, 4, 6 ...). For data analysis and approximation, you
can pad the array when necessary.
Also, the function performance depends very much, and not monotonically, on the array size (see
getOptimalDFTSize ). In the current implementation DCT of a vector of size N is calculated via DFT
of a vector of size N/2 . Thus, the optimal DCT size N1 \>= N can be calculated as:

/** @brief Returns the optimal DFT size for a given vector size.

DFT performance is not a monotonic function of a vector size. Therefore, when you calculate
convolution of two arrays or perform the spectral analysis of an array, it usually makes sense to
pad the input data with zeros to get a bit larger array that can be transformed much faster than the
original one. Arrays whose size is a power-of-two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...) are the fastest to process.
Though, the arrays whose size is a product of 2's, 3's, and 5's (for example, 300 = 5\*5\*3\*2\*2)
are also processed quite efficiently.

The function cv::getOptimalDFTSize returns the minimum number N that is greater than or equal to vecsize
so that the DFT of a vector of size N can be processed efficiently. In the current implementation N
= 2 ^p^ \* 3 ^q^ \* 5 ^r^ for some integer p, q, r.

The function returns a negative number if vecsize is too large (very close to INT_MAX ).

While the function cannot be used directly to estimate the optimal vector size for DCT transform
(since the current DCT implementation supports only even-size vectors), it can be easily processed
as getOptimalDFTSize((vecsize+1)/2)\*2.

/** @brief Principal Component Analysis

The class is used to calculate a special basis for a set of vectors. The
basis will consist of eigenvectors of the covariance matrix calculated
from the input set of vectors. The class %PCA can also transform
vectors to/from the new coordinate space defined by the basis. Usually,
in this new coordinate system, each vector from the original set (and
any linear combination of such vectors) can be quite accurately
approximated by taking its first few components, corresponding to the
eigenvectors of the largest eigenvalues of the covariance matrix.
Geometrically it means that you calculate a projection of the vector to
a subspace formed by a few eigenvectors corresponding to the dominant
eigenvalues of the covariance matrix. And usually such a projection is
very close to the original vector. So, you can represent the original
vector from a high-dimensional space with a much shorter vector
consisting of the projected vector's coordinates in the subspace. Such a
transformation is also known as Karhunen-Loeve Transform, or KLT.

The sample below is the function that takes two matrices. The first
function stores a set of vectors (a row per vector) that is used to
calculate PCA. The second function stores another "test" set of vectors
(a row per vector). First, these vectors are compressed with PCA, then
reconstructed back, and then the reconstruction error norm is computed
and printed for each vector. :

    want a floating-point random number, but the range boundaries are
    integer numbers, either put dots in the end, if they are constants, or

    produce array mostly filled with 0's and 255's, since the range (0, 255)
    is significantly smaller than [-DBL_MAX, DBL_MAX).

    Each of the methods fills the matrix with the random values from the
    specified distribution. As the new numbers are generated, the RNG state
    is updated accordingly. In case of multiple-channel images, every
    channel is filled independently, which means that RNG cannot generate
    samples from the multi-dimensional Gaussian distribution with
    non-diagonal covariance matrix directly. To do that, the method

/** @brief Finds centers of clusters and groups input samples around the clusters.

The function kmeans implements a k-means algorithm that finds the centers of cluster_count clusters
and groups the input samples around the clusters. As an output, \f$\texttt{labels}_i\f$ contains a
0-based cluster index for the sample stored in the \f$i^{th}\f$ row of the samples matrix.

@note
-   (Python) An example on K-means clustering can be found at
    opencv_source_code/samples/python/kmeans.py
@param data Data for clustering. An array of N-Dimensional points with float coordinates is needed.
Examples of this array can be:
-   Mat points(count, 2, CV_32F);
-   Mat points(count, 1, CV_32FC2);
-   Mat points(1, count, CV_32FC2);
-   std::vector\<cv::Point2f\> points(sampleCount);
@param K Number of clusters to split the set by.
@param bestLabels Input/output integer array that stores the cluster indices for every sample.
@param criteria The algorithm termination criteria, that is, the maximum number of iterations and/or
the desired accuracy. The accuracy is specified as criteria.epsilon. As soon as each of the cluster
centers moves by less than criteria.epsilon on some iteration, the algorithm stops.
@param attempts Flag to specify the number of times the algorithm is executed using different
initial labellings. The algorithm returns the labels that yield the best compactness (see the last
function parameter).
@param flags Flag that can take values of cv::KmeansFlags
@param centers Output matrix of the cluster centers, one row per each cluster center.
@return The function returns the compactness measure that is computed as
\f[\sum _i  \| \texttt{samples} _i -  \texttt{centers} _{ \texttt{labels} _i} \| ^2\f]
after every attempt. The best (minimum) value is chosen and the corresponding labels and the
compactness value are returned by the function. Basically, you can use only the core of the
function, set the number of attempts to 1, initialize labels each time using a custom algorithm,
pass them with the ( flags = KMEANS_USE_INITIAL_LABELS ) flag, and then choose the best
(most-compact) clustering.
