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.
It has been tested with Voice Over (mac) and with NVDA (windows).
When an added stamp annotation is focused, the screen reader will announce
that it's a figure containing a graphic with the added alt-text.
It was recently brought to my attention that using partial or generated localization ids is bad for maintainability, hence this patch goes through the code-base and replaces any such occurrences.
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.
