Title:

    Automatic Image Retargeting

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    We introduce a non-photorealistic algorithm for automatically retargeting images, that is, adapting them for display at different sizes and/or aspect ratios, while preserving the images’ important features and qualities. Our method accommodates images with multiple important regions by minimizing the unimportant space be- tween regions. The motivation for this work is the need for tools that allow us to author imagery once, and then automatically retarget that imagery for a variety of different display devices.
