- Performance improvements
- A few hundreds of basic kernels in OpenCV have been rewritten using so-called "wide universal intrinsics". Those intrinsics map to SSE2, SSE4, AVX2, NEON or VSX intrinsics, depending on the target platform and the compile flags. It should translate to noticeably better performance, even for some already optimized functions. For example, if you configure and compile OpenCV with `CPU_BASELINE=AVX2` CMake flag, you can get extra 15-30% speed improvement for certain image processing operations. By OpenCV 4.0 gold we plan to translate many more kernels to such intrinsics and also employ our dynamic dispatching mechanism, so that on x64 platform AVX2-optimized kernels are always built-in and could be selected on-fly if the actual hardware supports such instructions (without having to change `CPU_BASELINE`). Big thanks to Sayed Adel for VSX backend and the initial (but rather complete!) AVX2 backend of the wide universal intrinsics! Big thanks to Vitaly Tuzov for conversion of many functions in OpenCV to wide universal intrinsics.
- Support for IPP 2019 has beed added with IPPICV component upgrade.

- QR code detector and decoder have been added to opencv/objdetect module together with live [sample](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/samples/cpp/live_detect_qrcode.cpp). Currently, the decoder is built on top of QUirc library (which snapshot we put into opencv). Thanks to our intern Alexander Nesterov for this important contribution!

- Very efficient and yet high-quality DIS dense optical flow algorithm has been moved from opencv_contrib to opencv, video module. See the [example](https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/samples/cpp/dis_opticalflow.cpp). Thanks to Alexander Bokov, our GSoC student, who implemented this algorithm, and Peng Li, who optimized it for GPU.
- At the same time, slower TV L1 optical flow algorithm has been moved from opencv to [opencv_contrib](https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/tree/master/modules/optflow).
