Content-Aware Image Resizing Jack Breese Computer Systems Quarter 1, Pd. 7
A Comparison of Image Resizing Retargeting Scaling Seam-Carving
Retargeting Smaller portion of the image is scaled up to a different size. Aspect ratio cannot be changed without losing data.
Scaling Image size is increased or decreased by removing or adding pixels. Aspect ratio cannot be changed without stretching image.
Seam-Carving Lowest energy seam is duplicated or removed Content-Aware Changes aspect ratio without stretching important image data.
Video Demonstration
Problems of Seam Carving Faces must be manually identified and tagged in images to avoid distortion.
Project Status Reads in image files Outputs individual columns or rows of pixels Finds seams of bright pixels (semi-working) Edge detection
Future Goals Quarter 2 Implement actual image resizing Write system for tagging faces Begin work on simple face recognition Quarter 3 Continue implementation of face recognition Quarter 4 See Q3.
