Measurement of image similarity is a fundamental issue in both image processing and computer vision and is very important for image retargeting applications, which have drawn much attention in recent years. In this paper, we propose a new similarity measure with deformation detection of visual salient regions for image retargeting. According to the fact that the human visual system is sensitive...

Computers are becoming faster, smaller and more interconnected, creating a shift in their primary function from computation to communication. This trend is exemplified by devices such as cellular phones with cameras, personal digital assistants with video, information displays in automobiles, and computer screens in elevators and refrigerators. As communication devices and viewing situations be...

Image retargeting is the task of making images capable being displayed on screens with different sizes. This work should be done so that high-level visual information and low-level features such as texture remain intact possible to human system. At same time, output image may have dimensions. Thus, simple methods scaling cropping are not adequate for this purpose. In recent years, researchers t...

Based on rapid upsurge in the demand and usage of electronic media devices such as tablets, smart phones, laptops, personal computers, etc. and its different display specifications including the size and shapes, image retargeting became one of the key components of communication technology and internet. The existing techniques in image resizing cannot save the most valuable information of image...

We present an automatic system for retargeting a human body motion extracted from an image sequence into a new character in a still image. In contrast to analyzing the articulated motion of its skeleton in the previous vision-based human body tracking and posture recognition system, we use direct 2-D image warping based on a silhouette. At first, we represent the performer’s silhouette with the...

We propose a novel, interactive content-aware zooming operator that allows effective and efficient visualization of high resolution images on small screens, which may have different aspect ratios compared to the input images. Our approach applies an image retargeting method in order to fit an entire image into the limited screen space. This can provide global, but approximate views for lower zo...

For early diagnosis of malignancies in the gastrointestinal tract, surveillance endoscopy is increasingly used to monitor abnormal tissue changes in serial examinations of the same patient. Despite successes with optical biopsy for in vivo and in situ tissue characterisation, biopsy retargeting for serial examinations is challenging because tissue may change in appearance between examinations. ...

Transferring human motion and appearance between videos of actors remains one the key challenges in Computer Vision. Despite advances from recent image-to-image translation approaches, there are several transferring contexts where most end-to-end learning-based retargeting methods still perform poorly. actor to another is only ensured when a strict setup has been complied, which generally built...
