Seam Carving Content-Aware Resize

How It Works

Seam carving removes paths of lowest "energy" (importance) to resize images without distorting key features. The algorithm computes pixel energy using gradient magnitude, then finds minimum-energy vertical or horizontal seams using dynamic programming. Watch as seams are removed one by one!
