Preprocesses training images for DreamBooth by applying smart cropping to focus on the subject, resizing to target resolution, and generating or accepting captions for each image. The system detects faces or subjects, crops to square aspect ratio centered on the subject, and stores captions in separate files for training. Supports batch processing of multiple images with consistent preprocessing parameters.
Unique: Uses subject detection (face detection or bounding box) to intelligently crop images to square aspect ratio centered on the subject, rather than naive center cropping. Stores captions alongside images in organized directory structure, enabling easy review and editing before training.
