Content-aware image resizing

My mind has officially been blown by this demonstration of a new image resizing technique that changes an image's dimensions while intelligently preserving (or selectively destroying) content. I want this. Now.

Wow, that is really amazing, awesome!

Hi, If you are looking for a software to try out seam carving, take a look at http://www.thegedanken.com/retarget

The program that you can download there (for Windows and Linux, and free) is already highly optimized concerning speed, and apart from enlarging or decreasing image size you can also use masks to protect or delete certain parts of your image.

Have fun, Irmgard

Check out rsizr.com for a free Flash-based implementation of seam carving that lets you resize your own images, both in height and width simultaneously, in real time. (You can rescale and crop images too!)
