This patch is adding some code in order to extract a drawing as curves from an image.
The algorithm is basically the following:
- reduce the dimensions
- make it gray
- apply a bilateral filter in order to add some blurryness while keeping the edges
- compute the histogram
- guess what's the background color which should contain a large majority of the pixels
- make a binary image
- extract the contours in using the Suzuki algorithm
- apply the Douglas-Peucker algorithm in order to reduce the number of points
The algorithm is improvable but it should work pretty well if there's a clear difference between
the background and the drawing.
In a v2 we could use a ML model in order to improve the extraction.
There's few changes related to the UI in order to make the tool usable, but they're very basic
for the moment.
Steps to reproduce this in `master`:
1. Open https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html
2. Use the "Open"-button (in the secondaryToolbar), or drag-and-drop, to load another PDF document.
3. Enable the highlight-editor.
4. Try to pick a new colour.
Note how it's no longer possible to change the default highlight-colour.
The reason for this is that we're only initializing the viewer-toolbar `ColorPicker` *once*, which doesn't work since every PDF document gets its own `AnnotationEditorUIManager`-instance. To address this we simply need to re-initialize the viewer-toolbar `ColorPicker`, and note that this patch won't affect the Firefox PDF Viewer.
The doorhanger for highlighting has a basic color picker composed of 5 predefined colors
to set the default color to use.
These colors can be changed thanks to a preference for now but it's something which could
be changed in the Firefox settings in the future.
Each highlight has in its own toolbar a color picker to just change its color.
The different color pickers are so similar (modulo few differences in their styles) that
this patch introduces a new class ColorPicker which provides a color picker component
which could be reused in future editors.
All in all, a large part of this patch is dedicated to color picker itself and its style
and the rest is almost a matter of wiring the component.
The main stamp button will be used to just enter in a add/edit image mode:
- the user can add a new image in using the new button.
- the user can edit an image in resizing, moving it.
In image mode, when the user clicks outside on the page but not on an editor,
then all the selected editors will be unselected.
