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 and fully documented API
• Supports color depths from 8 bits per channel to 64 bits per channel
• Support for different color models: grayscale, RGB, CMY and their variants, and even custom ones
• Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or discard, or for additional seam rigidity
• 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 (the rigidity can be modulated on a local basis)
• 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 functions, and easily defining cusom ones
• Reports progress through a customizable interface
• A signalling system permits to handle errors cleanly
• Portable to all major OS's
