Seam Carving, sometimes referred to as content aware image resizing is an algorithm for image resizing (primarily shrinking) developed by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir.
Watch this video to really understand what exactly this amazing technology is about:
Even you can play with Seam Carving by downloading it as a GIMP plugin or a standalone application (Windows/Mac/Linux).
Here are some other Seam Carving resources that you may find interesting:
- AS3 Content Aware Resizing or Image Seam Carving - contains links to many implementations, some with source
- Fast content-aware image resizing and Object removal using seam carving, still fast - more thoughts on the algorithms and an implementation in OCaml
- CAIR - Content Aware Image Resizer - a multi-threaded C++ implementation
- rsizr - a very slick Flash-based seam carving utility
- Seam Carving - a nice write-up that explains how the algorithm works
