The LiquidRescale (lqr) library provides a C/C++ API for performing
non-uniform resizing of images by the seam-carving technique.
.
The library takes images in plain array format as input and converts
them to a multi-size representation.
.
Following is a list of features:
.
* Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or discard
* Once the image has been fully processed, the scaling can be done
in real-time. In fact, the information can be saved and read out
later without any further processing
* The resizing is done with a single function which automatically
performs all the necessary operations; it can also work in
successive steps without wasting computational time
* Possibility to tune the carving operation by letting the seams be
less connected, or more rigid, or both
* Can export and import the visibility map (the seams)
* Other images can be attached and undergo the same carving process
as the parent image
* The automatic feature detection algorithm can be tuned by
selecting among different energy gradient functions
* Reports progress through a customizable interface
* A signalling system permits one to cleanly handle errors
.
The library implements the algorithm described in the paper "Seam
Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing" by Shai Avidan and Ariel
Shamir, which can be found at
