Abstract

A computer implemented method to present digital images may include storing a digital image in a database and applying a digital image processing technique to the digital image to identify a region of interest of the digital image. The method may also include storing region data that identifies the region of interest of the digital image in the database and receiving a request for information associated with the digital image from a digital device. In response to the request, the method may include providing the digital image and the region data for transmission to the digital device, the digital device configured to adjust a cropping view of the digital image based on the region data to display the region of interest of the digital image.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining, by the one or more processors applying a first image processing technique to a first image classified in a category, first region data identifying a first region of interest for generating a first cropping view from the first image;
determining, by the one or more processors applying a second image processing technique to a second image classified in a sub-category of the category, second region data identifying a second region of interest for generating a second cropping view from the second image;
receiving, from a user device, a request for information associated with the category;
and
transmitting, in response to the request, one or both of the first image or the second image and at least one of the first region data that identifies the first region of interest for generating the first cropping view or the second region data that identifies the second region of interest for generating the second cropping view.

5 more elements

A method, comprising:

determining, by one or more processors applying a first image processing technique to a first image classified in a category, first region data identifying a first region of interest for generating a first cropping view from the first image;
determining, by the one or more processors applying a second image processing technique to a second image classified in a sub-category of the category, second region data identifying a second region of interest for generating a second cropping view from the second image;
receiving, from a user device, a request for information associated with the category;
and
transmitting, in response to the request, one or both of the first image or the second image and at least one of the first region data that identifies the first region of interest for generating the first cropping view or the second region data that identifies the second region of interest for generating the second cropping view.

2 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:

determining, by the one or more hardware processors applying a first image processing technique to a first image classified in a category, first region data identifying a first region of interest for generating a first cropping view from the first image;
determining, by the one or more hardware processors applying a second image processing technique to a second image classified in a sub-category of the category, second region data identifying a second region of interest for generating a second cropping view from the second image;
receiving, from a user device, a request for information associated with the category;
and
transmitting, in response to the request, one or both of the first image or the second image and at least one of the first region data that identifies the first region of interest for generating the first cropping view or the second region data that identifies the second region of interest for generating the second cropping view.
