Abstract

The aim of the thesis is to realize and write a program that resizes the input image to preserve important objects and describe some algorithms by which this can be achieved. The introduction describes the problem. The second part relates to some possible solutions that could solve the problem. These are OCR, face detection, salient feature extraction and seam carving. Each of these is described in detail. The next chapter describes the approach to the problem. We begin with descriptions of the tools that were used in the production of the algorithm, which was realized as a mixture of algorithms described in the second chapter (salient feature extraction and seam carving). The fourth part contains examples of how our program works. The results are images that only contain the important objects. The next section describes the operation of face detection, which we could realize in our algorithm. At the very end of the thesis we described the findings and possible upgrades of the algorithm.
