SEAM CARVING FOR CONTENTAWARE IMAGE RESIZING

INTRODUCTION

Aspect ratios must change for different displays such as cell

phones and PDAs.
Effective resizing can only be achieved by considering the
image content and not geometric constraints.
Seam Carving the best option.

SSIM MAP ESTIMATION

Fig. 2. Fig. 3. First row: reference image and its saliency map. Second to last rows: retargeted
images (left),SSIM maps (middle), andproduct ofSSIM and saliency maps (right). Retargeted
images from the second to last rows are generated by MO, SCL, SC, SM, and WARP
algorithms, respectively. IR-SSIM scores of the retargeted images from MO, SCL, SC, SM, and
WARP are 0.920, 0.893, 0.859, 0.888, and 0.901, respectively

SALIENCY MAP ESTIMATION

. Left to

right: reference image; retargeted image; bottom-up saliency map; overall saliency
map (combining bottom-up and top-down saliency maps); SSIM map;.

SALIENCY WEIGHTED
POOLING

Eye tracking data maybe useful to

improve performance.
Strong artefacts may remain unnoticed
outside the ROI.
Hence, a saliency map which predicts the
location of visually attractive parts are more
useful.
