Implementations of the Seam Carving Algorithm

Since I first started blogging about this technique, several implementations have been popping up, so I decided to make a list of them. Some of them are web-based (mostly in flash), others are plug-ins to another software, and still others are stand-alone applications. Here they are:

Web-based

• Patrick Swieskowski has a Seam Carving Demo which allows you to try it on any photo on the web.
• There is another flash implementation in je2050.de which does a pretty good job. Unfortunately it is restricted to two pictures only.
• Zero point nine has its own flash implementation, too

Plug-ins

• Carlo Baldassi developed a plug-in for the Gimp
• Kennberg has a photoshop plug-in.
• Picutel also has a PhotoShop plug-in, but it seems the free version limits the image size.

Stand-alone

• Semanticmetadata.net has a java application.
• IntuImage has a windows app
• Liquid Resize has received good comments
• Another one, this time in C# and mono (in Linux)
• Andy Owen implemented his own routine in C to create a command-line version.
• Gabi took Andy's version above and created a GUI application around it (see also here).
• Kometbomb has implemented his version in C for windows.
• Michael at Nerdblog has mada available a windows application (no source code).

Others

• Hector Yee has implemented in flash, too, but is not on-line

Update: Tim Wintle has told me he also has an implementation of seam carving in python here. I haven't tested as it is a binary-only program for Windows.
