👽 scikit-image>0.26.0 uses max_image for remove_small_objects

[shaneahmed]

Updates all model components to align with the scikit‑image 0.26.0 API change by replacing deprecated min_size with the new max_size parameter in remove_small_objects. Behaviour is preserved using max_size = min_size - 1.
Also updates requirements.txt to require scikit‑image>=0.26.0.

---

❓ Why use max_size = min_size - 1?

In the old API, min_size = N removed objects smaller than N pixels.
In scikit‑image ≥ 0.26.0, max_size = N removes objects larger than N pixels, reversing the direction of filtering.
To maintain identical behaviour, we remove all objects with size ≤ N−1, which corresponds exactly to the old “remove objects smaller than N” logic.

Therefore:

max_size = min_size - 1
