Content-Aware Image Resizing

Posted by kdawson on from the got-a-nice-gui-too dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At the SIGGRAPH 2007 conference in San Diego, two Israeli professors, Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir, have demonstrated a new method to shrink images. The method is called 'Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing' (PDF paper here) and it figures out which parts of an image are less significant. This makes it possible to change the aspect ratio of an image without making the content look skewed or stretched out. There is a video demonstration up on YouTube."

    I'd never understod this hate-your-ex-thing? The person where part of your life for some time but you have decided to hate it and want to erase it from it?
    Better never get a partner then at all if you are going to hate the person once it doesn't work longer.

    But then I'm a regular slashdot visitor and don't have any exs so what do I know.

    I find a small irony in the fact that the video is posted on youtube, a site which stretches and squeezes video to fit into a 4:3 aspect ratio

    It's times like this when I become truly aware of my own gaping inadequacies, and feel the deep, deep obligation to rectify my own short comings.
