In this paper we propose a novel method to improve seam carving based on the method meta-heuristic algorithms combining simulated annealing (SA) and genetic algorithm (GA). SA is a single solution method which searches locally while GA belongs to population based algorithms that globally search to find the best answer. By this strategy, both speed and quality of the seam carving method can be increased...
