Systems and Methods for Automated Image Cropping

摘要

Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments of the invention automatically crop images based upon the location of one or more regions of interest (ROIs) identified within the cropped image. In one embodiment, an image cropping application configures a processor to utilize at least one object detector to identify at least one region of interest within an image. A plurality of candidate cropped images within the image are selected and for each candidate cropped image, an output is generated by weighting each of the at least one region of interest contained within the candidate cropped image as a function of its position within the candidate cropped image. A crop location can then be selected based upon the candidate cropped image having the largest output.

主权项

1. An image processing system, comprising:
a processor; and a memory connected to the processor, where the memory contains:
an image cropping application; andan image file containing image data encoding an original image;wherein the image cropping application configures the processor to:
utilize at least one object detector to identify at least one region of interest within the original image;select a plurality of candidate cropped images within the original image;for each candidate cropped image, generate an output by weighting each of the at least one region of interest contained within the candidate cropped image as a function of its position within the candidate cropped image;select a crop location within the original image based upon the candidate cropped image having the largest output; andgenerate cropped image metadata.
