The magic of content aware image resizing

A few years ago, I saw a demonstration of “content aware image resizing“. This very impressive technique/algorithm allows resizing a picture while keeping the important elements in it. For example, if you resize a picture of someone’s face, the background would be resized while keeping the face intact.

Since then, this technique has been used in many ways, mainly as a resizing technique used in graphics edition software.

Well, content aware image resizing is now available as an iPhone/iPod touch application which gave me a reason to talk about this impressive technology.
