TF Addons CV components

[bhack]

Are you interested to cover or migrate some of the CV components in the TF Addons namespace?

I suppose the starting point could be to review tf.addons.image as we are already duplicated in this repo things like coutout/randomcoutout etc..:
https://www.tensorflow.org/addons/api_docs/python/tfa/image

P.s. This is a parallel ticket of keras-team/keras-hub#11

Sure, I will do a pass over the components and see what we are interested in taking.

We need to also to evaluate if we take the ownership of the tf.image namespace and handle the deprecation in Tensorflow:

Checked with @fchollet offline. It seems that we don't have an active owner for tf.image API, but in the same time, we can't easily remove the TF API due to backward compatibility contract. Deprecating certain duplicated tf.image API could be an approach, until keras-cv has enough API/feature coverage.

[bhack]

Yes I think any public TF API removal requires a deprecation window:

Is there any reason to leave this open @bhack ? I’d like to begin triaging issues and closing more thoroughly. Feel free to reopen inquiries about specific components.

Feel free to reopen inquiries about specific components.

If you close this one that it is general enough then I need to post to every specific ticket or PR that is going to create any sort of potential duplication with Addons like #289.

I honestly avoided doing this on every single ticket in these months cause I was thinking that we could sit down and calmly assess the situation as we have already "duplicated" or superseded many components here since February.

But we have not collected any specific position after 2 months and it's a bit of a waste of resources.

Okay, we can reopen this then and discuss.
