This is a dynamic programming solution to the seam carving image resizing algorithm. Instead of removing columns of pixels, it finds vertical "seams" (paths of least importance) to remove in order to prevent image distortion.

The files of interest are the following:

• GradientFilter.java
• SeamCarvingFilter.java
• SeamFinder.java

Download and run this jar file. After running the file, a window will pop-up asking to browse to the desired image file on your computer that you would like to resize. After selecting the desired file, the image will appear. Put the mouse cursor on one of the side edges of the image and the pointer will change from a single arrow to a double arrow. Click and drag the image to the desired reduced size. A loading screen will appear while the seams are being found and removed. Voilà, the image has been seam carved.
