Abstract：The main idea of content-aware image resizing is performing different operations according to the importance of each pixel,and the goal is to preserve the important areas and reduce visual distortion. Seam carving is one of the main methods of image resizing. Traditional seam carving generates the impor-tance map by gradient,which can only indicate high energy near the edges of an object.We propose a no-vel method combining gradient map and saliency map to generate an importance map,which can protect the edge information and visual prominent object,and preserve the integrity of the important areas. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the visual distortion and preserve the content and structure of the original image.
