As a user, I would like to take a picture of my handwritten notes or printed documents, scan them and upload it directly to my ownCloud

[davigonz]

The current ownCloud Android app has different options to upload files to an ownCloud server, such as selecting them from the internal storage, selecting content from other apps or uploading photos directly from the camera.

It would be great to include a new option which enables the user to take a new picture with the camera and select the edges of handwritten notes or printed documents. After that, the image will be processed, adjusted to a better view and uploaded to a folder on the server.

@michaelstingl Thanks.

@davigonz For this feature should I use a 3rd party dependency like this or should I try to implement the feature from scratch using opencv etc.?

@SD1998 Sure, you can use 3rd party dependencies as long as they are free license and we include the required attributions.

Hi guys , when you talk about "the image will be processed", do you mean using OCR to get plain text or adjust the marked edges to get a rect and aligned document ?

@Unsigno Actually is not OCR itself, is just about taking a picture and adding some kind of filters so that the picture looks like a scanned document.

Oki , i am looking for a PR and have some questions.

1 - Could be added OpenCV as dependency to do this ?
2 - If i send a PR, it has to contain all the translations of the texts used ?

@Unsigno I am already working on this. Could you work on any other issue? Thanks.
