Abstract: Image cropping is a crucial means of enhancing the aesthetic quality of images. However, it relies on photographic knowledge and experience. For novice users, it is challenging to obtain satisfactory results through cropping. To meet the image cropping needs of novice users and improve efficiency, this article designs and develops an intelligent image cropping application, AesthetiCropper, and proposes two cropping methods. One is based on visual balance. The other is based on deep learning. This system features an intuitive user interface and automatically crops images to high aesthetic standards. It also offers customizable parameters and an editing module to meet users' personalized requirements. User studies show that participants are more satisfied with the system's cropping results compared to manual ones. The System Usability Scale (SUS) score indicates that its usability reaches a good level, making it worthy of promotion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
