Rate-dependent seam carving and its application to content-aware image coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Content-aware image resizing (CAIR) is desired because it preserves prominent regions in a resized image. However, CAIR requires high computational complexity to perform in mobile devices, though it is desired for these displays. Moreover, transmitting the side information for CAIR from the encoder is a problem since it usually requires high bitrates compared with those for image data. In this paper, we present a rate-dependent CAIR method that produce various retargeting results based on the bitrates for side information. Furthermore, we apply the proposed technique to wavelet-based image coding. Our proposed content-aware image coding method provides good performances for both CAIR and image coding.

ABSTRACT When changing height and width of image traditional techniques for image resizing are oblivious to the content of image. A simple operator seam carving is used for image and video retargeting. This seam carving operator is used for content aware image resizing to reduce or expand image size. According to seam carving method every object in the image must be scaled down proportionally. ...

In this paper we consider the problem of implementing and optimizing the Seam Carving algorithm on graphics processing units. Seam Carving is a content-aware image resizing method proposed by Avidan and Shamir. In order to use their proposed method in real-time application, a pre-processing step is needed. While some other papers propose real-time resizing by changing the original Seam Carving ...
متن کاملSeam Carving for semantic video coding
Compression standards such as H.264/AVC encode video sequences to maximize fidelity at a given bitrate. However, semantic-oriented and content-aware compression remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a semantic video compression method using seam carving. Seam carving changes the dimension of an image/video with a non-uniform resampling of each row and column while keeping the rectangul...

Image compression is a technique used to reduce the storage required to save an image. The existing image coding methods cannot support content based image compression and enlargement for arbitrary resolution display devices. In multimedia communications, image retargeting is generally required at the user end. The work presented in this paper addresses the increasing demand of visual signal de...
