摘要

The numerous works on media retargeting call for a thorough and comprehensive survey for reviewing and categorizing existing works and providing insights that can help future design of retargeting approaches and its applications. First, we present the basic problem of media retargeting and detail state-of-the-art retargeting methods devised to solve it. Second, we review recent works on objective quality assessment of media retargeting, where we find that although these works are designed to make the objective assessment result in accordance with the subjective evaluation, they are only suitable for certain situations. Considering the subjective nature of aesthetics, designing objective assessment metric for media retargeting could be a promising area for investigation. Third, we elaborate on other applications extended from retargeting techniques. We show how to apply the retargeting techniques in other fields to solve their challenging problems, and reveal that retargeting technique is not just a simple scaling algorithm, but a thought or concept, which has great flexibility and is quite useful.We believe this review can help researchers and practitioners to solve the existing problems of media retargeting and bring new ideas in their works.
