Would this still be covered under the original patent until 2029 [1]? [1] https://www.google.com/patents/US8213745
That patent was filed in 2009, and appears to be a copy of a 2007 paper http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.570... with no novel contributions, and no overlap in authorship.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I remember first seeing content aware image scaling at Adobe MAX in Barcelona I think it was. We were completely dumbfounded by what was surely magic happening on stage. When they showed removing objects we just lost it, jaws on the floor and all. That was a fun conference.

I wrote a version of this in javascript with a live demo you can play with at https://alexander.soto.io/seam-carving
The algorithm itself looks like it needs face (and body) detection to be really useful, though.
Example: My girlfriend and I on holiday in Australia.
