Cartesian resizing of image and video for data compression

We present a method for resizing images and videos by deleting or inserting less important rows or columns in images and frames in videos. Their deletion leads to down-sizing of images and shortening of videos while the insertion yields image up-sizing and video elongation. This method is inexpensive than the seam carving with comparably low distortion of objects in images or videos. We use the down-sizing technique in this method for compressing the file size of images and videos with low distortion of important objects in them.
