SeaMonster Alternatives

SeaMonster

.Net based application that does Content-Aware Image Resizing just like Photoshop CS4.

See http://seamonster.codeplex.com/releases/view/10269 for Executable and Sourcecode.

Features included in this first release:

* For maximum reusability, the seam carving algorithm is implemented in its own assembly (separate from the client application).
* Seams may be carved both horizontally and vertically.
* Two seam functions are included: cumulative and standard. Cumulative should faithfully represent the function in the original paper.
* There are three methods for comparing seams: total, average, and diffbias. Diffbias is experimental and may not be very useful.
* A simple bias map function makes it easy to preserve image details or ask for them to be removed.
* Multiple energy functions are included. Sobel is likely the most useful.
* Carved images can also be saved or copied to the clipboard.

Note that the algorithm is computationally expensive, so for testing, it's much faster to work with smaller images.
