Descrizione

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

Following is a list of features:

* Easy to use and fully documented API * Supports color depths from 8 bits per channel to 64 bits per channel * Support for different color models: grayscale, RGB, CMY and their variants, and even custom ones * Areas in the image can be marked for preservation or discard, or for additional seam rigidity * 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 (the rigidity can be modulated on a local basis) * 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 functions, and easily defining cusom ones * Reports progress through a customizable interface * A signalling system permits to handle errors cleanly * Portable to all major OS's
