Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for adjusting a unit image area within an input image (102) according to information importance within the unit area. An image receiver (304) configured to receive the input image (102). An image warper (316) is coupled to an importance map (310) and is configured to generate a warped image (110) such that regions of higher importance in the input image are expanded in the warped image (110) and regions of lower importance in the input image are compressed in the warped image (110). The importance map (310) is configured to delineate the regions of higher importance and the regions of lower importance in the input image (102). Texture coordinates (318) may also be warped in a similar manner. Thus, the image is unwarped automatically by modern graphics adapters having texture mapping capabilities.
