Content Aware Image Resizing
This is some pretty nifty stuff. Researchers have developed methods to resize images dynamically, without distorting or cropping the image. The technique has been well thought out, with the ability to ensure the most important features (ie. a persons face) are not altered, as it is the most noticeable to the eye.
This ability can then be extended to mark an area of the image for removal. This makes cutting a person out of an image brilliantly simple, as the background where the person was standing gets reconstructed automatically.
The video is a must see:
