Abstract
A method of image retargeting including segmenting an input image into a plurality of cells and detecting elements in the input image by a deep learning-based semantic segmentation network. The method includes generating a segmentation map according to a first function, generating a saliency map according to a second function and generating a variance map according to a third function. The method includes constructing an importance map according to a fourth function. The importance map is based on the segmentation map, the saliency map, and the variance map. The method includes inputting the importance map into a distortion threshold function. The distortion threshold function calculates a distortion threshold. The method includes calculating a distortion measure and determining a modification to be applied to each of the plurality of cells. The method includes applying the modification to each of the plurality of cells and outputting a retargeted image.
