LOCALIZED SEAM CARVING AND EXPANSION WITH CONFIGURABLE LOCALIZATION THRESHOLD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17986156 titled 'LOCALIZED SEAM CARVING AND EXPANSION WITH CONFIGURABLE LOCALIZATION THRESHOLD
Simplified Explanation
Embodiments are disclosed for performing localized seam carving, the image including multiple low activity regions. The method includes obtaining an image. A selection of a point of interest and a requested adjustment is received. A set of seams that are present in the low activity region are selected, with each seam including a connected path of pixels and each pixel having low activity. An adjusted set of seams is generated by duplicating or removing one or more seams from the set of seams using the adjustment. The set of seams in the low activity region is replaced by the adjusted set of seams. An updated image including the low activity region with the adjusted set of seams is output.
- Localized seam carving method for images with low activity regions
- Selection of point of interest and requested adjustment
- Set of seams in low activity region selected and adjusted
- Updated image output with adjusted set of seams
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in image editing software to allow for localized resizing of images without distortion in low activity regions.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of maintaining image quality while resizing images with low activity regions.
Benefits
- Allows for precise adjustments in localized areas of images - Preserves image quality in low activity regions - Enhances image editing capabilities
Potential Commercial Applications
- Image editing software - Graphic design tools - Photography applications
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in seam carving techniques for image resizing may exist, but the specific method of performing localized seam carving in images with low activity regions may be a novel innovation.
What are the potential limitations of this technology?
Potential limitations of this technology may include: - Limited effectiveness in images with high levels of detail - Processing time required for adjusting seams in large images
How does this technology compare to traditional image resizing methods?
This technology offers a more targeted approach to image resizing by focusing on low activity regions, which can result in more accurate and visually pleasing adjustments compared to traditional methods that resize the entire image uniformly.
