  • Patent number: 11978238
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods of converting media dimensions. A device may identify a set of frames from a video in a first orientation as belonging to a scene. The device may receive a selected coordinate on a frame of the set of frames for the scene. The device may identify a first region within the frame including a first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate and a second region within the frame including a second feature. The device may generate a first score for the first feature and a second score for the second feature. The first score may be greater than the second score based on the first feature corresponding to the selected coordinate. The device may crop the frame to include the first region and the second region within a predetermined display area comprising a subset of regions of the frame in a second orientation.
