DISTRIBUTED IMAGE RETARGETING
A method for retargeting an image in a system comprising a transmitter connected to at least one receiver through a communication network, comprises: —computing ( 35 ) by said transmitter a saliency map of said image; —transmitting ( 37 ) said image and said saliency map from said transmitter to said at least one receiver through said communication network; —retargeting ( 41 ) by said at least one receiver said transmitted image based on said transmitted saliency map.
1 . Method for retargeting an image in a system comprising a transmitter connected to at least one receiver through a communication network, said method comprising:
computing ( 35 ) by said transmitter a saliency map of said image;
transmitting ( 37 ) said image and said saliency map from said transmitter to said at least one receiver through said communication network;
retargeting ( 41 ) by said at least one receiver said transmitted image based on said transmitted saliency map.
2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein said saliency map comprises two 1D saliency curves for horizontal and vertical scaling respectively.
3 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the system comprises a plurality of receivers.
4 . System for retargeting an image comprising:
a transmitter ( 3 ) comprising
a saliency map calculator ( 9 ) for computing a saliency map of said image; and
a network interface ( 7 ) for transmitting the image and the saliency map onto a communication network;
a receiver ( 5 ) comprising:
a receptor ( 17 ) connected to said communication network for receiving the transmitted image and the transmitted saliency map;
an image modifier ( 19 ) for retargeting said transmitted image based on said transmitted saliency map.
5 . A transmitter ( 3 ) in a system for retargeting an image comprising:
a saliency map calculator ( 9 ) for computing a saliency map of said image; and
a network interface ( 7 ) for transmitting the image and the saliency map onto a communication network;
6 . A receiver ( 5 ) in a system for retargeting an image comprising:
a receptor ( 17 ) connected to said communication network for receiving the transmitted image and the transmitted saliency map;
an image modifier ( 19 ) for retargeting said transmitted image based on said . transmitted saliency map.
