Add feature -> Edge detection and crop

[Aman-zishan]

AS of now the app simply converts the captured image to pdf without scaling or cropping. It would be better to add a crop option and edge detection feature while scanning documents.

• edge detection after image is captured

• crop option incase if edge detection fails to get the required outcome

Probably we will need to add a new screen with the preview of image and then processsing the new cropped or scaled image to generate pdf page.

@Aman-zishan do you have anything in mind what should be used for edge detection?
For image crop, I was thinking to use image_cropper plugin.

There is edge detection plugin too, the problem is to split the logic into different processes and implement the idea. As of now the camera takes a pic and goes directly to share and print so we have to create a new preview screen which triggers for this edge detection and crop . This screen should also be triggered when users switch to greyscale or multi image capture/picker mode(which will be implemented later #11 and #10)

[Amitbhave]

Sure, can I work on this?

Are you implementing the same logic? Please do share a Screenshot while opening a PR too. Thank you!

[Amitbhave]

Will it be okay, if we do edge detection at the time of capturing the image only?

As in whenever the camera is used right, umm that would be ok i guess cause if we make use of crop for images thats uploaded from gallery there isnt a requirement for edge detection. Yeah that would do

[Amitbhave]

There is this issue with edge_detection package.

Did you try in a physical device?

Have you made a good amount of progress?. Then i guess we can open a new branch and work on this in that branch?. So we both can try and fix

I have created a new branch maybe you can PR to this branch so that i can look into it.

[Amitbhave]

Why do you need new branch? I have forked your repo.. While raising PR, I will attach screenshots as well don't worry.

[Aman-zishan]

Oh cool then..i thought you were stuck at that error so we could work on it in that branch

[sawankumarbundelkhandi]

@Aman-zishan @Amitbhave Please try using the plugin on a real device. I have never tested the edge_detection plugin on the emulator.

Yeah saw a lot of issues with emulators while using this package.

[Amitbhave]

@Aman-zishan so should we be using this package or not as it doesn't work on emulator?

I'm actually using a physical device. Can you use one too

[Amitbhave]

@Aman-zishan you can go ahead with this using actual physical device.

[Aman-zishan]

?? what happened

[Amitbhave]

Actually I prefer to use emulator only for testing rather than using my own device.

[Aman-zishan]

No problem

[Prakhar314]

Can I work on this? I am thinking of using this plugin. It is using opencv using dart:ffi.
The example there has an implementation of edge detection and crop.
Maybe we can add some filters as well, using this.

[Aman-zishan]

Yes sure

[Aman-zishan]

Hey @Prakhar314 , we have already implemented crop feature would be better if you work on edge detection

[Prakhar314]

I'm sorry, I won't be able to work on this any time soon.
