user_input() - Parameters:
- Alignment: Specify on which axis the resizing operation has to be performed.
- Scale Ratio: Floating point operation between 0 and 1 to scale the output image.
- Display Seam: If this option isn’t selected, the image is only seamed in background.

- Generate Sequences: Generate intermediate sequences to form a video after all the operations are performed.

File: imgtovideos.py

generateVideo() - pass each image path to vid() for video generation.
vid()- writes each input image to video buffer for creating a complete video.

File: opencv_generators.py

generateEnergyMap() - utilised OpenCV inbuilt functions for obtaining energies and converting image to grayscale.

pyCAIR is a content-aware image resizing(CAIR) library based on Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing paper.

How does it work

An energy map and a grayscale format of image is generated from the provided image.
Seam Carving algorithm tries to find the not so useful regions in image by picking up the lowest energy values from energy map.
With the help of Dynamic Programming coupled with backtracking, seam carving algorithm generates individual seams over the image using top-down approach or left-right approach.(depending on vertical or horizontal resizing)
By traversing the image matrix row-wise, the cumulative minimum energy is computed for all possible connected seams for each entry. The minimum energy level is calculated by summing up the current pixel with the lowest value of the neighboring pixels from the previous row.
Find the lowest cost seam from the energy matrix starting from the last row and remove it.
Repeat the process iteratively until the image is resized depending on user specified ratio.
