There is Layer>Autocrop layer. But there is no real notion of "the image within", it just crops the image were all pixels are exactly equal, so it works only on image with a clean, uniform background which don't seem to be the case

For answering the rest of the question, it would help:

1. To have an example image
   
2. To know if you are aiming for perfection or for speed
