    Awesome image resizing technique

    A friend sent me this, knowing what I am like with technology, but it's too good; I have to share it.

    Content-aware image resizing technique

    I want it. I want it now.

    i can see this being of great use on small screen devices. but it must use oodles of processing power

    I've seen this before but just watched the video again That is some seriously clever stuff and no doubt Google will probably have been working on this and putting it onto some tool for the web. Perhaps their new mobile device

    That is clever, but I wonder why they chose Kermit the frog to narrate it?

    That's a brilliant idea. And done well so far too, I'd love to see this technology in use in common programs soon

    Seen it a few weeks ago. I think it shows great potential; very cleaver stuff.

    Not really *that* much, if the seams are already encoded into the image, there is little thought to do.

    If not, when you think something like a canny edge operation works quite swiftly, and such operations could easily be applied to determining the seams (as he mentioned). Also the image could aditionally be encoded in a lower colour form, taking less memory + proccessing time that bitmap could be used to find the seams, removing the need for them to be pre-proccessed.
