The Thumbnails on This Page

The thumbnails you get when you mouse over PDF links on this page were generated (mostly) by this code:

PDFThumber.zip

...which looks at a directory of pdf files and — for each — tries to pick a thumbnail using heuristics that favor (a) images appearing early in a paper, (b) square images (mostly as a filter for gunk jpeg chunks in PDF files that aren't really images in a logical sense, which tend to have wide aspect ratios), and (c) images with a non-negligible number of unique RGB triplets (also partially to filter out junk images, which are often big black or white boxes, or checkerboards). When no "good" images pass all these tests, it just renders the first page of the paper as a thumbnail.

PDF analysis is done using a combination of iTextSharp and PDF Clown, each of which have strengths and weaknesses wrt image extraction, so I essentially concatenate their outputs together before filtering. In the fallback case, thumbnail generation is done with PDF Rasterizer.

This pipeline also allows me to generate images like these, each of which contains more or less every figure I've ever put in a paper:
