Abstract:

With various emerging mobile devices, the visual content have be to resized into different sizes or aspect ratios for good viewing experiences. In this paper, we propose a new multioperator retargeting algorithm by using four retargeting operators of seam carving, cropping, warping, and scaling iteratively. To determine which retargeting operator should be used at each iteration, we adopt structural similarity (SSIM) to evaluate the similarity between the original and retargeted images. The retargeting operator sequence is constructed based on the four types of retargeting operators by an optimization process. Since the sizes of original and retargeted images are different, scale-invariant feature transform flow is used for dense correspondence between the original and retargeted images for similarity evaluation. Additionally, visual saliency is used to weight SSIM results based on the characteristics of the human visual system. Experimental results on a public image retargeting database have shown the promising performance of the proposed multioperator retargeting algorithm.
