Fast Video Retargeting Based on Seam Carving with Parental Labeling

Implementation of the fast video retargeting method proposed in this paper. OpenCV 3 and NumPY are required to run these code.

SeamCarverPL.py contains the sinlge-image seam carving function seamCarverVertical(img, nwidth).

• img is a numpy array encoding the cource image, which can be created via cv2.imread().
• nwidth is the target width after carving.

VideoRetargetingPL.py contains the video retargeting function videoRetarget(name, outn, a).

• name is the path of the source video.
• outn is the path of the retargeted video.
• a is the compression factor, namely the width of the retargeted video to the width of the source video.
