It’s good to be subscribed to lots of different mailing lists, just for the absolutely wonderful pockets of air which exist around all the traffic. On the kde-imaging mailing list there was a thread about image resizing algorithms. My interest was piked and it paid off - the video explains a dynamic image resizing technique by removing paths of least enery. This is probably done by some complicated Fourier transform, and the results are phenomenal. Resize an image by removing redundant parts of the image, not by making everything smaller. Furthermore, this technique can be also used to remove particular elements of an image by applying negative energy weights to an area. Fascinating!
