Abstract

A nonphotorealistic algorithm for retargeting images adapts large images so that important objects in the image are still recognizable when displayed at a lower target resolution. Unlike existing image manipulation techniques such as cropping and scaling, the retargeting algorithm can handle multiple important objects in an image. To identify the important objects in an image, we must first segment the image. We use mean-shift image segmentation to decompose an image into homogeneous regions.
