In order to solve the problem that seam carving usually damages the local structure of image, this paper presents a novel method for content-aware image resizing based on alignment and deformation. First, seam carving is used to remove a seam from the input image and segment it into two parts. Second, all pixels are robustly detected and aligned along the seam and the smaller parts. Third, these sparse deformation cues are then propagated robustly and smoothly into the interior of the target image by solving the associated Poisson equations in the image domain. Experimental results show that the presented algorithm can achieve structure continuous effect versus seam carving and can used to adjust the image size in different display device.
