摘要：We a proposed a novel stereo image editing technique based on a content-preserving image editing approach. This novel technique is for editing stereo images while preserving disparity without accurate estimation of disocclusion areas. In this paper, we describe a stereo extension of seam carving (SC) that is one of the content-preserving image processing operators. SC is used for image retargeting, which is to shrink or to enlarge size of an image, while still retaining the details of salient objects in the image. Traditional SC generates connected paths ( seams ) and eliminates them to reduce the size of the original image or duplicates them to enlarge. We introduce external energy functions that represent matching conditions for stereo images and find an optimized pair of seams from stereo images. Using the obtained stereo paired seams, we have demonstrated depth-preserving image retargeting for multi-view stereo images.
