Claim Text:
1. A content retargeting method comprising: dividing an original content into a grid having M rows×N columns of quads; computing degrees of importance of the divided quads; and scaling and deforming the quads, for a number of iterations, based on the computed degrees of importance, the quads being axis-aligned by rows or columns, wherein scaling and deforming the quads comprises: wherein the cost function for i-th column is the accumulating result values of the cost function are representing the width of the i-th column in the t-th iteration, N is number of the columns of the original content, and W is width of the original content, S i,j represents the degrees of importance of the quad located at the coordinates (i, j) in the original content divided into a grid, and σ represents a value for controlling the sensitivity of the cost function.
