N2 - No single retargeting approach performs well on all images and all target sizes; therefore, hybrid algorithms are often considered as promising alternatives. However, most hybrid schemes are time consuming. In this paper, we propose a fast hybrid framework in which the Fast Content-Aware Image Distance (FCAID) is used to connect fast seam carving with neighboring probability constraints (FSc-Neip) and scaling. FCAID is used to measure the image distance between the resized image given by FSc-Neip and the original image. This fast technique is embedded within the FSc-Neip framework. Our hybrid scheme is locally applied in strip regions. This makes the retargeting scheme globally non-homogeneous. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach comprehensively outperforms other state-of-the-art techniques in terms of image quality and computational complexity.
