Seamer : Seam Carving Plugin

Considerable interest was generated when a new technique named as "Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing"
was presented in a paper by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir. Recently there was a reference to seam carving in one of Avisynth threads also.

On seeing this post in this forum, due to curiosity I attempted two approaches to acheive seam carving in a fully unsupervised mode. The results are displayed here. They are most unsatisfactory. The reason being that I have yet to formulate a criterion as to what is a valid or acceptable seam that is universally ( or largely) suitable for carving. May be some one guides me in this.

Below are two sets of images. Each set shows the input image, and 4 variants of seam carving, using the two functions RSeamer and WSeamer of Seamer plugin.
set 1 :





set 2:




The above images were produced using script below in addition to usual source, crop, stack etc.

Code:
sm1 = wseamer(im1, x = 480,y = 350, max = true,nw = 2, test = 0)
sm2 = wseamer(im1, x = 480,y = 350, max = false,nw = 2, test = 0)
sm3 = Rseamer(im1, x = 480,y = 350, max = true,nw = 22, test = 0)
sm4 = Rseamer(im1, x = 480,y = 350, max = false,nw = 2, test = 0)

This Seamer plugin has been revamped completely. It is now having two functions viz. TRSeamer and WSSeamer.

It is possible to reduce as well as enlarge images. The results are:
enlarge width, reduce height by both functions. TRSeamer on top.



Enlarging both w and h by TRSeamer.


Reducing both w and h by TRSeamer


The functions run very slow. No supervision is possible as of now.

What's the purpose of such plugin? Enlighten me.

I don't know but generating waves and other weird effetcs in a picture don't make "tilt" in my head.
