Abstract :
Seam carving is one of content-aware image resizing algorithms. This algorithm can be used for various applications because of its simplicity. However, the computational complexity becomes the bottleneck of the implementation of the algorithm. In this paper, we present a hardware-oriented seam carving algorithm. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated on an FPGA board, and it turns out that the algorithm can achieve two thousands of performance as much as that for the original one.
