Abstract:
In this paper, we present a new approach for retargeting large images to mobile devices with small screens. As the core of image retargeting, information fidelity is adequately considered in terms of reservations of salient regions, edge integrity, and image layout. By taking these aspects as constraints, image retargeting is formulated as a constrained sampling task. Each pixel in image is first represented with a vector encoding the constraints. Then, pixels with the same vector values combine to form blocks, and the original image is thus converted into a graph representation. Thereafter, the sampling ratio of each block is determined with a balanced minimum cost flow algorithm. Final result is generated by an interpolated sampling scheme and direct scaling. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
