A method for resizing images by content perception

Given the popularity of mobile and wearable devices, it is important to focus on the clarity of the displayed content for the end users. Currently, there is no link between the layout or size of displayed image and the information content in those images. In this paper, we present a method for optimally arranging and displaying a group of images, where the images are resized such that the relative size of the images is proportional to the number of objects in the images, or the number of faces. This ensures that the user gets to view faces or objects in images equally well regardless of the original size of the images. The method can be used for a number of applications in a mobile device, such as the gallery, web browser and video applications. We present implementation details to resize and layout a group of images displayed on a web page in a web browser. We also present results of a user study to see if such an approach might be desirable.
