  • Patent number: 10395373
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying an interesting feature in displayed content are presented. In response to a user's direction to identify an interesting feature of content displayed on the user's computing device, an image capture operation is conducted. The image capture operation captures some of the content displayed on the computing device and rendered to a working image. One or more processing passes are conducted on the working image to reduce various aspects of the working image. Remaining features in the working image, after the one or more processing passes, are identified and at least one feature is identified as a selected feature. A bounding box of the selected feature is mapped to the captured image, and a sub-image of the captured image as determined by the mapped bounding box is used as an interesting feature of the captured image.
