Abstract
Technologies for automated cropping and sharing of images include an imaging device configured to capture a digital image, recognize one or more subjects represented in the image, determine the social network groups associated with the subjects of the digital image, and crop the digital image to generate one or more sub-images. Each of the sub-images includes subjects associated with a particular social network group. Each of the sub-images may be shared with the relevant social network group. Subjects may include persons, objects, or events, and may be recognized through computer vision techniques as well as using contextual data. The imaging device may receive social network data from one or more social network servers, which may be used to determine the relevant social network groups. The imaging device may also exclude subjects from the cropped sub-images based on one or more content policies. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

26. An imaging device for automated image cropping, the imaging device comprising:
-
an image capture module to capture a digital image; a subject recognition module to recognize a first subject represented in the digital image; a social network module to determine a first social network group to which the first subject is associated; and an image crop module to crop, based on a content rule policy, the digital image to generate a sub-image including the first subject, the composition rule policy comprising a set of rules that define the composition of the sub-image based on the recognized first subject. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for automated image cropping, the method comprising:
-
capturing, by an imaging device, a digital image; recognizing, by the imaging device, a first subject represented in the digital image; determining, by the imaging device, a first social network group to which the first subject is associated; and cropping, by the imaging device and based on a content rule policy, the digital image to generate a sub-image including the first subject, the composition rule policy comprising a set of rules that define the composition of the sub-image based on the recognized first subject. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39)

40. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause an imaging device to:
-
capture a digital image; recognize a first subject represented in the digital image; determine a first social network group to which the first subject is associated; and crop, based on a content rule policy, the digital image to generate a sub-image including the first subject, the composition rule policy comprising a set of rules that define the composition of the sub-image based on the recognized first subject. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
