Method and system for automatically cropping images

摘要

An image cropping technique includes detecting, at a computer system including one or more processors, faces within an image and evaluating, at the computer system, the faces to determine if any of the faces correspond to people within a user's online social network. The technique additionally includes defining, at the computer system, a first crop region including a subset of the faces when at least one face within the subset of the faces corresponds to a first person in the user's online social network and cropping, at the computer system, the image based on the first crop region.

1. A computer-implemented method to crop an image, the method comprising:
detecting, by a computer system including one or more processors, one or more faces within an image; evaluating, by the computer system, the one or more faces to identify a subset of faces each corresponding to a person within a user's online social network; determining, by the computer system, a degree of affiliation between the user and each person in the subset of the faces within the user's online social network; determining, by the computer system, saliency values of pixels within the image; adjusting, by the computer system, the saliency values of pixels within the image based on the determined degree of affiliation; and cropping, by the computer system, the image based on the adjusted saliency values.
