Content-aware weighted image manipulations

摘要

A method in a computing device for performing intelligent weighted image manipulations is described. The method includes determining whether edge image features are distributed evenly across an image. When the edge image features in the image are not distributed evenly across the image, the method further includes cropping the image at the bounds of an overlay region of a desired size that is set at a position within the image to include a largest number of the edge image features. According to an embodiment, when the edge image features in the image are distributed evenly across the image, the method further includes cropping the image at the bounds of the overlay region of a desired size that is set at the center of the image.

1. A method in a computing device for performing intelligent weighted image manipulations, the method comprising:
determining whether edge image features are distributed evenly across an image, wherein the edge image features are not distributed evenly across the image when one of two non-overlapping regions created by placing two copies of an overlay region at opposite ends of the image has a first number of edge image features that exceeds a second number of edge image features of the other non-overlapping region by at least a threshold value; and when the edge image features in the image are not distributed evenly across the image, cropping the image at the bounds of the overlay region of a desired size, wherein the overlay region is set at a position within the image to include a largest number of the edge image features, wherein the dimensions of the overlay region correspond to an aspect ratio of a display device that the cropped image is to be sent to, and wherein the dimensions are a largest proportional size, according to the aspect ratio, not exceeding the size of the image.
