About Me

I’m a 30 something Irish guy that works in the IT business. Inside the trade I’m interested in Linux, Internet technologies and mobile hardware and services. Outside, I enjoy a good book, a nice beer and decent game of rugby……

P.S. This is a personal blog, and while I do have a professional involvement in a lot of the technical topics I mention in some of my posts, they do not reflect company policy or ethos.

Content aware image resizing

Two Israeli scientists, Dr. Ariel Shamir and Dr. Shai Avidan, gave a presentation at SIGGRAPH the other day that demonstrates an inteligent way to resize images. Rather than just a dumb resampling at the new resolution based on the average of the pixels at the old, or a method based on finding edges, these guys have come up with a technique that analyses the content, generates 3D shapes from it, and resizes it, preserving the proportions of the important elements.
