Abstract
A method of cropping an image containing an image of a human face includes detecting a region occupied by the image of the human face within the image, evaluating a plurality of candidate crops of the image, and selecting a crop of the image from the plurality of candidate crops of the image based on the results of the evaluation. The evaluating step includes applying a penalty to a candidate crop of the image in which the detected region occupied by the image of the human face is excluded or only partially included.
