[SPIKE] Image Browsing: investigate how to enable image cropping / moving effect
Closed, ResolvedPublic5 Estimated Story PointsSpike
Actions

Description

The image detail view UI would benefit from a facility that crops the main subject of a given image, or moves between its entities.
We assume the general task to be related to object detection.

Acceptance criteria

  • Ping Apps to learn from their experience, see also thread
  • Research off-the-shelf open-source tools for object detection
  • If none is available/viable, then research pre-trained ML models (see e.g., Hugging Face's list) and assess feasibility
  • Understand how to enable moving between image objects

Update, for MVP, moving between objects in an image is going to be out-of-scope

We're settling on client side image cropping for now and focusing on refining it. Research results here.

Hey @KSarabia-WMF – can you update your findings doc with info about the client-side solution you explored? Library or libraries used, JS payload size, link to your demo, etc? I think you can keep all the current info, but an additional section to describe the more limited approach we are exploring now would be good.

@egardner Noted. Please see the addendum in the document. I've updated it based on your request.
