AbstractImage cropping is a commonly used post-processing operation for adjusting the scene composition of an input photography, therefore improving its aesthetics. Existing automatic image cropping methods are all bounded by the image border, thus have very limited freedom for aesthetics improvement if the original scene composition is far from ideal, e.g. the main object is too close to the image border.In this paper, we propose a novel, aesthetic-guided outward image cropping method. It can go beyond the image border to create a desirable composition that is unachievable using previous cropping methods. Our method first evaluates the input image to determine how much the content of the image should be extrapolated by a field of view (FOV) evaluation model. We then synthesize the image content in the extrapolated region, and seek an optimal aesthetic crop within the expanded FOV, by jointly considering the aesthetics of the cropped view, and the local image quality of the extrapolated image content. Experimental results show that our method can generate more visually pleasing image composition in cases that are difficult for previous image cropping tools due to the border constraint, and can also automatically degrade to an inward method when high quality image extrapolation is infeasible. |
