Image resizing is a frequently used phenomenon in both image processing applications and adaptation to different aspect ratio. Using conventional resizing approaches like uniform scaling and cropping does not satisfy the needs of visual perfection expectations since they may cause distortions and data or importance loss in foreground objects. To overcome these deficiencies, researchers are looking for content-aware image resizing methods recently. Seam carving is the starring method to serve the purpose. It is a retargeting method which considers the images in a semantic manner for resizing to bring them to target aspect ratio. In this paper, seam carving is searched in detail and the studies in the literature are examined under three groups. Also, some further research topics are mentioned to help researchers who want to work on seam carving.
