Basic Tasks

Since my images were 400x300, I reduced them 50 pixels for seam carving. I exported each seam's image from matlab to a jpeg... then I used Easy Gif Animator 4 to create animated Gifs.

A. Vertical Seam Carving

B. Horizontal Seam Carving:

C. Where It Didn't Work:

My first attempt at Seam Insertion. I added the same seam over and over so it had a funny output. I had to post it in the failed section.

A. Seam Insertion

I extended the input images by 200 horizontal reusing the vertical seam code. I noticed pretty quick that I was adding the same seam over and over.
To solve that problem, I followed the paper's solution and implemented an order of removal list (that way I didn't use the same seam twice).

B. Human vs Computer Resizing:

I battled the computer on this one, and i think the seam carving was better than me at photoshop.

Nature Looking Images were taken from Lisa Chan's Web Page last year. Rest were taken by me or found on a usc message board.
