UPDATED RELEASE: SEAMonster 0.1 (Oct 23, 2007)

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 00:12:32 GMT

This is the first release of SEAMonster [url:from October, 2007|http://blogs.msdn.com/mswanson/archive/2007/10/23/seamonster-a-net-based-seam-carving-implementation.aspx].

Features included in this first release:

* For maximum reusability, the seam carving algorithm is implemented in its own assembly (separate from the client application).
* Seams may be carved both horizontally and vertically.
* Two seam functions are included: cumulative and standard. Cumulative should faithfully represent the function in the original paper.
* There are three methods for comparing seams: total, average, and diffbias. Diffbias is experimental and may not be very useful.
* A simple bias map function makes it easy to preserve image details or ask for them to be removed.
* Multiple energy functions are included. [url:Sobel|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobel_operator] is likely the most useful.
* Carved images can also be saved or copied to the clipboard.

Note that the algorithm is computationally expensive, so for testing, it's much faster to work with smaller images.
