Abstract
A method in a computing device for performing intelligent weighted image manipulations is described. The method includes determining whether edge image features are distributed evenly across an image. When the edge image features in the image are not distributed evenly across the image, the method further includes cropping the image at the bounds of an overlay region of a desired size that is set at a position within the image to include a largest number of the edge image features. According to an embodiment, when the edge image features in the image are distributed evenly across the image, the method further includes cropping the image at the bounds of the overlay region of a desired size that is set at the center of the image.
