A One-step Image Retargeing Algorithm Based on Conformal Energy (2402.18074v1)

Abstract: The image retargeting problem is to find a proper mapping to resize an image to one with a prescribed aspect ratio, which is quite popular these days. In this paper, we propose an efficient and orientation-preserving one-step image retargeting algorithm based on minimizing the harmonic energy, which can well preserve the regions of interest (ROIs) and line structures in the image. We also give some mathematical proofs in the paper to ensure the well-posedness and accuracy of our algorithm.
