def linear_sum_assignment(cost_matrix)Solve the rectangular linear sum assignment problem (minimum-cost one-to-one matching).
Uses scipy.optimize.linear_sum_assignment when SciPy is installed (faster compiled C++ solver), and otherwise
falls back to an equivalent pure-NumPy implementation of the same modified Jonker-Volgenant shortest augmenting path
algorithm (Crouse 2016). This keeps SciPy out of Ultralytics' required dependencies while preserving its speed when
present. SciPy is imported lazily so it never slows import ultralytics. For a rectangular matrix only min(rows,
columns) entries are matched.
The NumPy fallback supports +inf as a forbidden assignment and raises ValueError("cost matrix is infeasible")
when no assignment exists; callers must sanitize NaN and -inf. The two backends may return a different
equal-cost assignment under exact ties, but the total cost is identical.
The NumPy fallback is validated against SciPy with exact optimal-cost parity across ~6.9k randomized cases (every
shape including empty/tall/wide, ties, negatives, IoU- and RT-DETR-style matrices, maximize via negation,
torch-tensor input) plus ~2k independent brute-force global-optimum checks. SciPy's compiled inner loop is faster,
but at the call-site sizes (smaller dimension = object count) the fallback runs in well under a millisecond:
