See my blog post on Seam Carving GUI. Also see the Google Code project seam-carving-gui
Note: The source code requires a Qt4 development environment to build. In Ubuntu you can get the packages libqt4-dev, under windows get Qt 4 from Trolltech here.
I have moved the download of binary and source distributions to the Google Code project.
Version 1.5:
Made the following improvements and properly build a Mac Version.
- Upgraded to CAIR 2.6.1
- Can view images horizontal energy function as well as vertical
- Created a cursor when hovering over the image to represent the mark area size
- Retain/Remove mask is also shrunk with the image (so you can see how usefull it was)
- You can select to erase areas marked green/red (retain/remove) with the cursor
Screenshots of the GUI and some showing of of the features:
retargeted to 300x300 from 500x375
stretched to 900x375 with little black fish removed

A nice castle image before any retargeting:
Mark areas that we want to remove and we want retain, in this case we want to make sure the castle is not distorted and remove the pesky pedestrian:
The re targeted image, pretty slick eh?
