converts plain array images into multi-size representation

The LiquidRescale (lqr) library provides a C/C++ API for performing non-uniform resizing of images by the seam-carving technique.

The library takes images in plain array format as input and converts them to a multi-size representation.

Following is a list of features:

  * Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or discard
  * Once the image has been fully processed, the scaling can be done
    in real-time. In fact, the information can be saved and read out
    later without any further processing
  * The resizing is done with a single function which automatically
    performs all the necessary operations; it can also work in
    successive steps without wasting computational time
  * Possibility to tune the carving operation by letting the seams be
    less connected, or more rigid, or both
  * Can export and import the visibility map (the seams)
  * Other images can be attached and undergo the same carving process
    as the parent image
  * The automatic feature detection algorithm can be tuned by
    selecting among different energy gradient functions
  * Reports progress through a customizable interface
  * A signalling system permits one to cleanly handle errors

The library implements the algorithm described in the paper "Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing" by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir, which can be found at http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/imret.pdf

This package contains the shared library.
