CONDITIONED SMART IMAGE CROPPING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18185791 titled 'CONDITIONED SMART IMAGE CROPPING
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system for cropping images based on user intention data and visual features.
- Receiving a source image and user intention data
- Determining a target feature based on user intention data
- Identifying visual features within the source image
- Determining contextual relevance between the target feature and visual features
- Identifying cropping candidate portions within the source image based on contextual relevance
- Cropping the source image to generate multiple cropped images
- Displaying the cropped images on a display
Key Features and Innovation: - Utilizes user intention data to determine cropping areas in images - Considers contextual relevance between target features and visual features for accurate cropping - Generates multiple cropped images for user selection
Potential Applications: - Image editing software - Social media platforms - E-commerce websites for product images
Problems Solved: - Efficient cropping of images based on user intention - Improved accuracy in identifying cropping areas - Enhanced user experience in image editing
Benefits: - Saves time in manual cropping - Increases precision in image cropping - Enhances visual appeal of images
Commercial Applications: Title: Image Cropping System for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be used in image editing software to provide users with a more intuitive and efficient way to crop images. It can also be integrated into social media platforms and e-commerce websites to improve the visual presentation of images.
Questions about Image Cropping System: 1. How does the system determine the target feature for cropping an image? 2. What are the potential benefits of using this image cropping system?
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of image recognition and artificial intelligence that could further enhance the capabilities of this image cropping system.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system for cropping an image is disclosed, which performs receiving a source image and user intention data; determining a target feature based on the user intention data; identifying a plurality of visual features within the source image; determining a contextual relevance between the target feature and each identified visual feature of the source image; identifying, based on the determined contextual relevance between the target feature and each identified visual feature of the source image, one or more cropping candidate portions within the source image; cropping, based on the one or more cropping candidate portions, the source image to generate a plurality of cropped images; and causing the plurality of cropped images to be displayed on a display.
