Abstract
Seam Carving is a method which aims at retargeting images, i.e., adjusting input images into arbitrary dimensions by removing pixel paths (seams) with minimal visual impact. The standard method is based on an exhaustive searching method for minimal cost seams according to a pixel relevance function also named energy function. In this work, we propose a new method to retarget images based on both Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and a high-performance scale and rotation-invariant interest point descriptor, the well-known method, Speed Up Robust Features (SURF). Along with our proposal, we present a content-aware fitness function, a new individual modeling, as well as a new index for image retargeting quality assessment. According to the simulations carried out, our proposal is very handy for image retargeting and outperforms the Seam Carving in terms of the image quality assessment index in most results.
