IMAGE EDITING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for editing images comprising:
- a processor that receives data representative of an image, the processor coupled to a display; and
a user input connected to the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to;
detect regions of the image representing faces;
store data representing coordinates of any regions detected as representing faces as points of interest;
cause the display of the image on the display with an indication of the regions with coordinates stored as points of interest;
when data indicative of adding a user selected region of the image as an additional point of interest is received through the user input, store data representing the coordinates of the user selected region as a point of interest;
when data indicative of deleting a region corresponding to an indication of a point of interest on the display is received through the user input, remove data representing the coordinates of the region corresponding to the indication of a point of interest on the display;
determine a crop area for the image, the crop area having predetermined dimensional characteristics, such that the crop area will best preserve points of interest according to a predetermined set of rules, andcause the display of an indication of the determined crop area on the display.

Abstract
An image editing system for use with a web-based video editing system is provided. The image editing system comprises: a detection system configured to receive image data; detect regions of the image representing faces; store the data representing the coordinates of the faces as points of interest; and receive user input adding additional points of interest, modifying the points of interest, or deleting the pre-selected points of interest; and a cropping subsystem configured to determine the portion of the image containing the maximum number of points of interest that will fit within the crop area; and crop the image.

7. A method for editing images using a processor that receives data representative of an image, the processor coupled to a display and a user input connected to the processor, the method comprising the processor:
-
detecting regions of the image representing faces; storing data representing the coordinates of any regions detected as representing faces as points of interest; causing the display of the image on the display with an indication of the regions with coordinates stored as points of interest; when data indicative of adding a user selected region of the image as an additional point of interest is received through the user input, storing data representing the coordinates of the user selected region as a point of interest; when data indicative of deleting a region corresponding to an indication of a point of interest on the display is received through the user input, removing data representing the coordinates of the region corresponding to the indication of a point of interest on the display; and determining a crop area for the image, the crop area having predetermined dimensional characteristics, such that the crop area will best preserve points of interest according to a predetermined set of rules, causing the display of an indication of the determined crop area on the display. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
