1. A method of generating an image scaling curve, the method comprising:
- receiving (1201;
1301) an image;
detecting (1204;
1304) local saliency in the received image;
accumulating (1206;
1306) the local saliency in a first direction; and
deriving (1211;
1315) an image scaling curve from the accumulated local saliency, wherein the derived image scaling curve is suitable for image rescaling in a second direction which is substantially orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of generating an image scaling curve, where local saliency is detected in a received image. The detected local saliency is then accumulated in the first direction. A final scaling curve is derived from the detected local saliency and the image is then possibly rescaled in a second direction by using the derived scaling curve, wherein the second direction is substantially orthogonal to the first direction.
