Improvements

Added area_for_downscale to RandomResizedCrop and RandomSizedCrop

parameter may have value:

• image
• image_mask
• None

When enabled will use interpolation that was passed to the transform for upscale, but cv2.INTER_AREA for downscale, as for downscale INTER_AREA generates the least amount of artifacts.

Speedups

Vectorized application to videos and volume in

• CoarseDropout, Erasing and ConstrainedCoarseDropout. (5.2x speedup) @huydoanx172
• Pad, PadIfNeeded. (3.5x speedup) by @martinsbruveris

When applied to videos Albumentations on 1 CPU core is still, slower than torchvision on GTX 4090, (Benchmark on videos). But with such pull requests, the gap. hopefully, will get smaller.

Bugfixes

• Fixed bug in MotionBlur, direction argument was not used.
• Bugfix in saving / loading piplines to huggingface hub. Now it works in windows as well.
