Hello,

I am a student in University Louis Pasteur of Strasbourg (France) and my second semester project is to work on the different library which using seam carving for image resizing. Me and another student are working to find the best one, making some test, patch the lib to deal with 16 bits images and create a GUI plugin for digikam.
We have chosen three different library for our experiment:
 - Seamstress
 - Liquid Rescale
 - C-A-I-R

Our results:
Seamstress can't extend images and is too slow with big ones.
C-A-I-R have some trouble with specific images (ball became square).
But Liquid Rescale don't have any problem and is fast.
That's why for us the best one is Liquid Rescale (which is already used in GIMP). So we are interested to develop this library and create a GUI for the Digikam software. 

NB: This projet is corresponding in any point to the google summer of code one.

Thanks.
