The goal of this assignment is to replicate the results of Seam Carving for Content-Aware Image Resizing by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir. (http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/SCWeb/imret/imret.pdf) using Python.

Reproduce the results for:

Seam removal (Figure 5 -- you do not need to show scaling or cropping)

Seam insertion (Figure 8 -- parts c, d, and f only)

Implement optimal retargeting with dynamic programming (Figure 7 -- show the transport map with your seam removal path & the result of optimal retargeting; you are not required to show the other three versions using alternating row/col seam removal)
