Rust Seam Carving

A Rust executable to perform content-aware image resizing using seam carving.

Installation

The executable can be installed using Cargo as follows:

git clone https://github.com/scortino/rust-seam-carving.git
cd rust-seam-carving
cargo install --path .

Usage

The executable can be used from the command line as follows:

rsc /path/to/image new_width new_height

Running tests

Unit tests and integration tests can be run from the project directory as follows:

cargo test --release

Longer integration tests generating examples of carved images starting from the ones initially present in the img/ directory can be run as follows:

cargo test --release -- --ignored

Credits

This project was proposed by Professors C. Feinauer and F. Pittorino as part of their course 20602 - Algorithms.

The implementation closely follows the original algorithm presented by S. Avidan and A. Shamir in their paper Seam carving for content-aware image resizing (2007).

Some of the unit tests used in the project are inspired by this Princeton University's assignment.
