Seam Resize

This little script will resize images using seam extraction instead of cropping or scaling. Essentially what it does is find paths that are "uninteresting" (ie: have a small sum over the square of the sobal transformation of the image) and extracts them. What results is a rescaled image that looks the same without squeezing or scale abnormalities. For example

Resized Square:

Resized:


Stretched:

 (You can see the artifacts from the stretching... it happens because, for some reason, the seaming algorithm always finds seams in the same region)

TODO

• Make it so you can make an image larger
• Speed up path finding algorithm (fortran?)
• Interface to manually change regions' weighting
