Contributions summary:Dmitry primarily focused on refactoring and optimizing the OpenCV library's core functionality, particularly concerning IPP (Intel Performance Primitives) integration. They addressed build issues, fixed warnings across multiple platforms, and removed unused code. Furthermore, the user implemented separate static functions for IPP code paths to improve readability and simplify future development efforts. These changes predominantly involved modifying core modules related to image processing.
