CASAIR: Content and Shape-Aware Image Retargeting and Its Applications Abstract This paper proposes a novel image-retargeting algorithm that can retarget images to a large family of non-rectangular shapes. Specifically, we study image retargeting from a broader perspective that includes the content as well as the shape of an image, and the proposed content and shape-awareimage-retargeting (CASAIR) algorithm is driven by the dual objectives of image content preservation and image domain transformation, with the latter defined by […]


Weakly Supervised Fine-Grained Categorization with Part-Based Image Representation

Weakly  Supervised  Fine-Grained  Categorization  with  Part-Based  Image Representation Abstract: In this paper, we propose a fine-grained image categorization system with easy deployment. We do not use any object/part annotation (weakly supervised) in the training or in the testing stage, but only class labels for training images. Fine-grained image categorization aims to classify objects with only […]
