Features

The library takes images in plain array format as input and converts them to a multi-size representation.

Following is a list of features:

• Easy to use API
• Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or discard
• Once the image has been fully processed, the scaling can be done in real-time. In fact, the information can be saved and read out later without any further processing
• The resizing is done with a single function which automatically performs all the necessary operations; it can also work in successive steps without wasting computational time
• Possibility to tune the carving operation by letting the seams be less connected, or more rigid, or both
• Can export and import the visibility map (the seams)
• Other images can be attached and undergo the same carving process as the parent image
• The automatic feature detection algorithm can be tuned by selecting among different energy gradient functions
• Reports progress through a customizable interface
• A signalling system permits to cleanly handle errors
