Seam Carving: Live Coding Session - MIT 18.S191 Fall 2020 - Week 2

Explore seam carving through a live coding session from MIT's 18.S191 Fall 2020 course. Learn how computers determine image importance and implement key functions for energy calculation, seam generation, and minimum energy seam identification. Discover the process of seam carving by finding energy, identifying seams, and removing them from images. Understand the rationale behind this algorithm and its applications in image processing. Follow along with timestamps for each topic covered in this 27-minute tutorial, perfect for those interested in computational image manipulation techniques.

Syllabus

Introduction.
How does a computer tell what is important in the image?.
1st function-Find the energy "function find_energy()".
Next function-To generate the seam "function find_seam_at()".
Last Function-To return the seam of minimum energy "function find_seam()".
Seam Carving of image "function seam_carving()"-find the energy, find the seam and remove the seam from image.
Why this algorithm?.
