Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting a source image aspect ratio to match a different target display aspect ratio are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods determine that a source image has first aspect ratio that is different than a second aspect ratio of a target display. Responsive to this determination, primary visual content of the source image is automatically detected. Dimensions and position of a crop of the source image are automatically calculated such that the crop preserves at least a subset of the primary visual content in the crop. Additionally, the crop is based on the second aspect ratio.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining that a source image has first aspect ratio that is different than a second aspect ratio of a target display;
- and
- responsive to the determining:
- automatically detecting primary visual content of the source image;
- and
- automatically identifying dimension and position of a crop of the source image that preserves at least a subset of the primary visual content, the crop having a same aspect ratio as the second aspect ratio.
A computer-readable medium comprising computer-program instructions executable by a processor for:
- determining that a source image has first aspect ratio that is different than a second aspect ratio of a target display;
- and
- responsive to the determining:
- automatically detecting primary visual content of the source image;
- and
- automatically identifying dimension and position of a crop of the source image that preserves at least a subset of the primary visual content, the crop having a same aspect ratio as the second aspect ratio.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer-program instructions executable by the processor for:
- determining that a source image has first aspect ratio that is different than a second aspect ratio of a target display;
- and
- responsive to the determining:
- automatically detecting primary visual content of the source image;
- and
- automatically identifying dimension and position of a crop of the source image that preserves at least a subset of the primary visual content, the crop having a same aspect ratio as the second aspect ratio.
