Efficient Saliency-Based Repurposing Method

Images play a very relevant role in our daily life. People now can easily shoot and share pictures thanks to the exponential growth of the portable medias, such as digital cameras, mobile phone. As the display size of those devices is relatively small, browsing large pictures remains difficult. Content re-purposing is an elegant solution to deal with this problem. It consists in cropping the images in order to display only the most interesting parts of the picture. A new algorithm is proposed in this paper; the experiments described herein, leading to a qualitative and a quantitative assessment, show that the proposed solution outperforms the conventional method.
