Focus points

A focus point is an image’s ideal vertical and horizontal center after cropping. You can specify focus points using the following techniques:

• Using Brightspot’s image editor.
• Integrating the OpenIMAJ library.
• Integrating a cloud service such as Amazon Rekognition.

If you know that an image’s subject is always centered in the middle (as in time-lapse photography), you can return that coordinate in a Focus object. This technique ensures Brightspot generates crops around the image’s native center.

• 6. Declares this view model implements the FocusCalculator interface.
• 12. Retrieves the image’s width and height from the metadata, divides each in half, and returns both values in a Focus object.
• 16. Prints the focus point to the console.
