In this post, we present a technique that we use for intelligent cropping: a fully automatic method that preserves the image’s content This seems like overengineering. Why not just build a UI to quickly crop a set of images exactly as desired, with a scalable box given the required aspect ratio? Since it's likely you'll want to verify these kinds of images before posting them anyways, and might go back and fix some later, it seems like you're not really cutting down on anything other than maybe a few seconds per image to move that initial bounding box. Though it's cool nonetheless.
