Strip based media retargeting via combing multi-operators

Based on the recently prioritized objectives and the statistical findings, we propose a novel media retargeting approach which considers content loss and deformation in a visual friendly manner. First, we divide an input image into several strips according to the average strip energy density and the line structure information. Then, we find the maximum resizing lengths which makes the deformation acceptable and choose the proper retargeting operator for each strip according to the energy information. The process above will be repeated iteratively until a cropping window can be selected which makes the content loss acceptable. The experimental results show that our proposed method can protect more important content information than traditional cropping and make less deformation than previous content-aware media retargeting method.
