Summary:Methods and apparatus for scoring an image based on visual criteria are described. A method includes computing a local blur map for the image, determining a bounding box in the image comprising a largest sharp region in the image based on the local blur map, scoring the image according to at least one of a ratio of bounding box size to image size, a ratio of the bounding box length to the bounding box height, a relative position of the bounding box in the image. Another method includes selecting an image among a plurality of images by scoring each image of the plurality of images according to the scoring method and selecting an image based on the score. The apparatus includes a memory and processor for performing the any of the selecting or the scoring method.
