In recent years, with the spread of devices with various screen sizes, the demand for resizing methods is increasing. Seam carving (SC) removes visually unimportant areas (hereinafter referred to as "seam") and resizes the image without losing its impression. However, SC for video has the problem of misalignment of the subject because the position of the seam is different in each frame. Also, previous methods that solve this problem have the problem of distortion of the subject. Therefore, the proposed method enables video SC with reduced misalignment and distortion by calculation of seams considering subject’s movement and reduce of seam position changes.
