ABSTRACT
Seam carving is a content-aware image resizing method [Shamir and Avidan 2007], which assigns Sobel-operator-based energy to each pixel and describes seams as the eight-connected paths of pixels. Successive removal of the optimal seams, i.e., those seams with the lowest sum of energy, allows reduction in image size. Pixels with lower energy are generally removed earlier; implying that (1) the modifications to the image are difficult to identify and (2) low energy can be deliberately assigned to particular objects so that they can be removed from the image. These two observations reveal that, although difficult, it is important to design a seam carving detection method.

Detection of seam carving and localization of seam insertions in digital images
MM&Sec '09: Proceedings of the 11th ACM workshop on Multimedia and security"Seam carving" is a recently introduced content aware image resizing algorithm. This method can also be used for image tampering. In this paper, we explore techniques to detect seam carving (or seam insertion) without knowledge of the original image. We ...
A patch analysis method to detect seam carved images
Seam carving is a content-aware image processing algorithm that has been successfully applied to resizing and deliberately removing objects from digital images. Retargeting images by seam carving is hard to identify; therefore, the detection of seam-...
Hopfield network-based approach to detect seam-carved images and identify tampered regions
AbstractSeam carving is a content-aware algorithm for image resizing and tampering. This algorithm assigns an energy map to an image and removes the seams with low energy from the image. By doing this, seam carving makes it possible to reduce the image ...
