File Exchange Pick of the Week

September 4th, 2007

One of the things I love about MATLAB is hearing about an interesting algorithm and being able to put it together quickly to understand how it works, if only to satiate my curiosity. What I really love is when someone on the File Exchange has already done the coding of said algorithm and I can just start my exploration there.

That happened this week when Aslak pointed to a video that does some really cool content aware image resizing:

This algorithm will make an image like this:

Look like this:

This would be good for web pages that change width as a reader resizes the window and other applications.

Here is a promo video for the file Aslak made.

Here is the file itself.

Doug first used MATLAB in 1994, could not figure it out until he got some help in 1995. He is now dedicated to making sure that no one else wastes a year of their life not knowing MATLAB like he did.
