چکیده

Seam carving is a powerful retargeting algorithm for mapping images to arbitrary sizes with arbitrary aspect ratios. Meanwhile, the seamlet transform has been introduced as an efficient image representation for seam-carving-based retargeting over heterogeneous multimedia devices with a broad range of display sizes. The original seamlet transform was developed using Haar filters, and hence it enabled traditional single-seam carving by removing a single seam at a time in a recursive manner until the desired image size was reached. In this paper, we develop a more efficient approach for seam carving by enabling multi-seam carving, where at each step of the retargeting algorithm, multiple seams are carved simultaneously. We achieve multi-seam carving by (a) extending the seamlet transform to allow for larger filters, and (b) employing local circular convolution in the vicinity of the selected seams. We show that by extending the seamlet transform we can employ popular filterbanks such as Daubechies’ wavelets to achieve efficient multi-seam carving with visual quality that is comparable to single-seam carving using the Haar transform. Furthermore, with multiseam carving, the number of iterations needed to achieve a given target size can be reduced significantly.

A Hybrid Image Retargeting Approach via Combining Seam Carving and Grid Warping

Image retargeting is a critical technique for browsing images in diversified terminals. In this paper, we propose a hybrid image resizing approach by jointly using seam carving and warping. Firstly, based on the importance partition with the saliency map, we apply a weighted seam carving approach to make the seams distributed dispersedly in the important regions. Then we propose Content Aware I...

Seam Carving with Improved Edge Preservation

In this paper, we propose a new method to adapt the resolution of images to the limited display resolution of mobile devices. We use the seam carving technique to identify and remove less relevant content in images. Seam carving achieves a high adaptation quality for landscape images and distortions caused by the removal of seams are very low compared to other techniques like scaling or croppin...

Detecting Trace of Seam Carving for Forensic Analysis

SUMMARY Seam carving, which preserves semantically important image content during resizing process, has been actively researched in recent years. This paper proposes a novel forensic technique to detect the trace of seam carving. We exploit the energy bias and noise level of images under analysis to reliably unveil the evidence of seam carving. Furthermore , we design a detector investigating t...

Detecting content adaptive scaling of images for forensic applications

Content-aware resizing methods have recently been developed, among which, seam-carving has achieved the most widespread use. Seam-carving’s versatility enables deliberate object removal and benign image resizing, in which perceptually important content is preserved. Both types of modifications compromise the utility and validity of the modified images as evidence in legal and journalistic appli...
