Fix regex escape warning in _coverage.py by using raw string #2819
while i am running '_coverage.py' I noticed there is a syntax warning:"\." It is an invalid escape sequence
The regex was written as a normal string with '\.' which is not valid escape in string literals and give problems and error in a new python versions.
To fix this switch to raw string(r'cv2?\.\w+') which can passes the backslashes directly to the regex engine. This removes the warning and keeps the code and pattern working properly.
This is a small fix but important for future compatibilities.
docs(js): Fix Mat.clone() documentation to use mat_clone() for deep copy #27985
- Update code example to use ```mat_clone()``` instead of ```clone()```
- Add explanatory note about shallow copy issue due to Emscripten embind
Problem
- OpenCV.js documentation shows ```Mat.clone()``` usage, but this method performs shallow copy instead of deep copy due to Emscripten embind limitations, causing unexpected behavior where modifications to cloned matrices affect the original.

### Description
This adds an optional foreground input mask parameter to the MOG2 and KNN background subtractors, in line with issue https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/26476
4 tests are added under test_bgfg2.cpp:
2 for each subtractor type (1 with shadow detection and 1 without)
A demo shows the feature with only 3 parameters and with a 4th optional foreground mask for both core subtractor types.
Note: To patch contrib inheritance of the background subtraction class, empty apply method which throws a not implemented error is added to contrib subclasses. This is done to keep the overloaded apply function as pure virtual. Contrib PR to be made and linked shortly.

Add Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 V4L2 Stateless HEVC Hardware Acceleration with FFmpeg #27453
This PR enables V4L2 stateless HEVC hardware acceleration for Raspberry Pi 5 within OpenCV's videoio module. It leverages FFmpeg's drm acceleration ([FFmpeg API changes](ee1f79b0fa/doc/APIchanges (L1529))), significantly improving HEVC decoding performance on RPi5 for robotics and embedded vision applications.
I have a working proof-of-concept with local benchmarks showing clear gains.
Checklist Status:
Ready: License, branch (4.x), FFmpeg reference, and (linked) related issue (#27452).
Seeking Guidance: Need help with formal C++ performance/accuracy tests, opencv_extra integration, and full documentation/examples.
As a Python developer, I welcome C++ best practice feedback and assistance with testing setup.

otherwise it can return negative values. The normalization of the histograms
have been changed accordingly, and all the six comparison methods have been
used in the histogram comparison tutorial.

Fix NaNs in HDR Triangle Weights and Tonemapping and Update LDR Ground Truth in tutorial #27396
The PR closes#27392
Updated the triangle weights to use a small epsilon value instead of zero to prevent NaN issues in HDR processing.
Also fixed a float-to-double division issue by explicitly casting double values to float, which was previously producing garbage values and leading to NaNs in tonemapping.
The current LDR ground truth image used in the tutorial [ldr.png](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/4.x/doc/tutorials/others/images/ldr.png) was originally generated using TonemapDurand (check this commit 833f8d16fa), which was moved to opencv_contrib a long time ago in this commit: 742f22c09b. However, the current Tonemap implementation in OpenCV main only performs normalization and gamma correction, which produces noticeably different results. This PR updates the LDR grouth truth image in tutorial with the result of TonemapDrago, and tutorials to use TonemapDrago as Tonemap gives a darker image.
Tonemap output:

Previously, the yoloPostProcessing function assumed that the number of classes (nc) was fixed at 80. This caused incorrect behavior when a different number of classes was specified, leading to mismatched output shapes.
This update modifies the code to use the provided `nc` value dynamically, ensuring that the output shapes are correctly calculated based on the specified number of classes. This prevents issues when `nc` is not equal to 80 and allows for greater flexibility in model configurations.
This branch and commit address an issue in the YOLO example (samples/dnn/yolo_detector.cpp) where the mean and scale parameters only affected the first channel (B) due to single-value input. The modification updates these parameters to accept multi-channel values, ensuring consistent preprocessing across all image channels.
Updated trackbar callback function and improved documentation #26524
This Fixes#26467
Description:
This pull request improve the OpenCV documentation regarding the Trackbar functionality. The current documentation does not provide clear guidance on certain aspects, such as handling the value pointer deprecation and utilizing callback arguments in C. This update addresses those gaps and provides an updated example for better clarity.
Changes:
Updated Documentation:
Clarified the usage of the value pointer and explained how to pass an initial value, since the value pointer is deprecated.
Added more detailed explanations about callback arguments in C, ensuring that users understand how to access and use them in Trackbar callbacks.
Added a note on how to properly handle initial value passing without relying on the deprecated value pointer.
Updated Tutorial Example:
Renamed and used callback function parameters to make them more understandable.
Included a demonstration on how to utilize userdata in the callback function.
Additional Notes:
Removed reliance on the value pointer for updating trackbar values. Users are now encouraged to use other mechanisms as per the current implementation to avoid the runtime warning.
