Abstract
Systems and methods for adjusting a source image aspect ratio to match a different target display aspect ratio are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods determine that a source image has a first aspect ratio that is different than a second aspect ratio of a target display. Responsive to this determination, primary visual content of the source image is automatically detected. Dimensions and position of a crop of the source image are automatically calculated such that the crop preserves at least a subset of the primary visual content in the crop. Additionally, the crop is based on the second aspect ratio.
