Claim 0:
1. A method for generating a candidate image for use as backdrop imagery for a graphical user interface, the method comprising:
receiving, by a computing system, a raw image;
determining, by the computing system, an edge image from the raw image using edge detection;
identifying, by the computing system, a candidate region of interest (ROI) in the raw image based on the candidate ROI enclosing a portion of the edge image having edge densities that exceed a threshold edge density;
manipulating, by the computing system, the raw image relative to a backdrop imagery canvas for a graphical user interface based on a location of the candidate ROI within the raw image;
generating, by the computing system and based on the manipulating, a set of candidate backdrop images in which at least a portion of the candidate ROI occupies a preselected area of the backdrop imagery canvas; and
storing, by the computing system, in non-transitory computer-readable memory, the set of candidate backdrop images.
