Aspects of the present invention include systems and methods for resizing a set of images, which may comprises one or more images, while preserving the important content. In embodiments, the saliency of pixels in the set of images is determined using one or more image features. A small number of pixels, called anchor points, are selected from the set of images by saliency-based sampling. The corresponding positions of these anchor points in the set of target images are obtained using pixel mapping. In embodiments, to prevent mis-ordering of pixel mapping, an iterative approach is used to constrain the mapped pixels to be within the boundaries of the target image/video. In embodiments, based on the mapping of neighboring anchor points, other pixels in the target are inpainted by back-projection and interpolation. The combination of sampling and mapping greatly reduces the computational cost yet leads to a global solution to content-aware image/video resizing.
