Interesting. From the Wikipedia article: "A 2010 review of eight image retargeting methods found that seam carving produced output that was ranked among the worst of the tested algorithms. It was, however, a part of one of the highest-ranking algorithms: the multi-operator extension mentioned above (combined with cropping and scaling)." Here is the paper: http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/papers/retBenchmark.pdf http://people.csail.mit.edu/mrub/papers/retBenchmark.pdf Don't have time to read the paper, but I wonder if it didn't perform well because of the algorithm that calculated the energy levels? Edit: The paper seems to suggest that an algorithm for retargeting of streaming video [1] was rated highest by human viewers.
