Abstract:
1. A method for generating a retargeted image from an original image, comprising: determining a region of interest within an original image, the original image having image areas outside of the determined region of interest forming at least one other image region, the region of interest having at least one major direction; determining a magnification value usable to scale the determined region of interest along each major direction; determining warping function parameters of at least one warping function usable to variably warp the at least one other image region along each major direction; and in a computer circuit, modifying original image data that represents the determined region of interest and the at least one other image region, respectively using the determined magnification value and the determined warping function parameters to generate a retargeted image having a modified region of interest and at least one variably-warped modified other image region outside of the modified region of interest.
