Project name
Image retargeting by k-seam removal.
Project short description
This project presents a methodology for image retargeting based on seam removal. So we will define the concept of seam and we will show and compare four different approaches in order to resize an image: � removing a 8-connected path of pixels minimizing an energy function � removing a not connected path of pixels minimizing an energy function � removing a 8-connected path of pixels minimizing the energy variation in the image � removing a not connected path of pixels minimizing the energy variation in the image

Laboratory work and risk analysis
describe here what you actually do or will do in the AIRLab for your project; it is especially important to specify any activity that can lead to potential risks for you or other people and how you will ensure that no one is harmed. A list of potentially dangerous (if not correctly performed) activities is included into the Safety norms of the AIRLab, which you MUST know to work at the AIRLab.
Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work as well as of electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:
- Use of mechanical tools. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
- Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
- Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
- Transportation of heavy loads (e.g. robot parts). Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
- Robot testing. Standard safety measures described in Safety norms will be followed.
- Death ray testing: on the robot will be mounted professor Azzoide's death ray projector. When testing it on live animals (e.g. pigeons, pigs, camels) we will make sure that people stay away from the test area.
Part 2: project description
Put here all the scientific and technical information about the project. Feel free to insert titles and sections as needed. Remember that here you can find help about wiki syntax.
Just to give you some ideas:
- state of the art;
- preliminary studies and sketches;
- design notes and guidelines;
- link to project documents and files (you can upload them using the Special:Upload page);
- description and results of experiments;
- photos and videos (they must have been uploaded with Special:Upload before you can insert them into this page);
- link to source code of the software written for the project (you can upload it with Special:Upload);
- advice about the configuration and the use of hardware and software;
- useful internet links;
- anything else that you think is useful to describe the project or could help people who will work on it in the future. Think about what you would have liked to find clearly explained when you started your work, instead of discovering it all by yourself the hard way. (By the way, if some of those missing information belong to other pages of this wiki, please update those pages: future users will be grateful.)
