cuts

1. An additional method for merging images besides blending
2. Finding seams in images
3. Benefits of cutting images over blending images

moving objects cause “ghosting”
find on optimal seam as opposed to blend between images
final has exact pixels from an image

overlapping block -> vertical boundary
take difference between square, min error boundary

Minimum cost cut can be computed in polynomial time(max-flow/min-cut algorighms)
