Abstract

The disclosure pertains to techniques for image processing. One such technique comprises a method for image selection, comprising: obtaining a sequence of images, detecting a first face in one or more images of the sequence of images, determining a first location for the detected first face in each of the images having the detected first face, generating a heat map based on the first location of the detected first face in each of the images of the sequences of images, determining a face quality score for the detected first face for each of the one or more images having the detected first face, determining a peak face quality score for the detected first face based in part on the face quality score and the generated heat map, and selecting a first image of the sequence of images, corresponding with the peak face quality score for the detected first face.
