Abstract

We introduce a new method for video retargeting based on discontinuous seam carving. Existing seam carving based video retargeting method is difficult to maintain spatial and temporal coherence simultaneously. In order to solve this limitation, our proposed method is able to use the optical flow to help keep the temporal coherence. In addition, a new scheme is designed to select the initial seam for video retargeting, which is able to help keep the spatial coherence. Experimental results prove that our proposed method outperforms others in terms of maintaining spatial and temporal coherence significantly.
