Open Source .NET API for Content Aware Image Cropping Smartly.

What is SmartCrop.net?

SmartCrop.net is a free and open-source API that allows the .NET developer to crop images automatically. This is a .NET Standard port of smartcrop.js. The API is content-aware and uses a set of algorithms to crop images. The API automatically detects face by using a simple, relatively fast, small and generic algorithm. It finds the face by finding regions with a color like skin. The API implements a set of algorithms like finding regions with high-resolution, finding edges, and generates a set of candidate crops.
