Left: Our face detector is unable to detect cats and other objects. Right: Our new cropping mechanism is able to focus on the most interesting part of the image. Cropping using saliency A better way to crop is to focus on “salient” image regions. A region having high saliency means that a person is likely to look at it when freely viewing the image. Academics have studied and measured saliency by
