Very nice, the way they explain is amazing .I is stunned by this new approach. For those of you who are interested in a tool that does great image processing I found one at reshade.com. I think this tool is great because it uses smart algorithms for image resizing and the results are amazing.

It will be very a pity, if it is algorithm will make paid

Thanks for showing the video, it inspired me to make a program that does a similar thing. I didn’t read the paper, or watch the video with sound, so it isn’t exactly the same (and I don’t believe for a second that it is as robust). But you can see it here:

If anyone wants source then just ask.

Nice Easy to explain

Looking to the example of the mountain and the upper right tree, they remove the zones which have no real important information (they even strech the mountain before mix the tree with the sky and the mountain). Moreover, the use great “color changes” (it’s not color really) to create the frontiers between objects.

They analyze the images horizontally and vertically to reconstruct the objects main lines in case some of them are broken by the resizing.

It’s really cool this innovation for too many applications. Too simple but nobody noticed it before

You know, the university they’re working for isn’t in America. I think it’s italy, though the guy in particular likes Hebrew…

“Very cool technology! I would love to use this. Can I assume that it is NOT open source?”

They published a paper describing the algorithm in detail. Read it and reimplement at will. However, if they do end up patenting the algorithm (as allowed in America, *sigh*), you will have to deal with that at a later date.
