Image retargeting is a technique to alter the size of an image to display size of various resolution such thatthey can be viewed on display devices such as mobile phone, PDA, TV etc. The traditional techniques have weakperformance in resizing since they only focus on the display size without considering the image content. . So the contentaware image retargeting methods have recently received increasing attentions. The proposed technique uses seamsearching based pixel fusion which include (a) horizontal (width) retargeting, (b) vertical (height) retargeting andcontent amplification. The technique starts with generation of saliency map representing the salient location of theimage. Then seams are searched on the saliency map for pixel grouping and coherence filtering is performe. Later, pixelfusion is performed based on the scaling factor. Finally content amplification is performed on the resized image. Theretargeted image thus obtained gives better result when compared to the existing methods.
