Seam carving energy calculation method and seam finding

Question

I am trying to implement a program like intelligent scissors. The difference it will not follow the edges, but it will be tend to pass between two edges.

I found seam carving useful for this purpose. What I need to do is calculate the energy of an image and find seams on it. But I couldn't find how to implement it in the paper and couldn't find an implementation either. Can anybody recommend an easier source that I can understand and implement? or an implementation which I can try and see wheather it will work for my purpose or not?

I doubt you'll find many sample written in C#. If you google for "seam carving matlab", you get a lot of hits, though. — Niki, Mar 28 '12 at 08:41

The best implementation of CAIR I've found is here. The link includes a pretty simple and straightforward explanation of how the algorithm works.

No. I am looking for a detailed explanation of algorithm actually. – user1125953 Mar 28 '12 at 07:48
