I used seam carving in a side-project Chrome extension I developed [1]. The extension pull the top landscape photo from r/EarthPorn and resizes it to 1920x1080 using the seam carving library caire [2]. Then it uploads the resized image to Imgur where it can be used as the user's new tab wallpaper.

Perhaps using seam carving was a little bit overboard but I thought it would be interesting and it works really well for most Earth landscape photos. I only rarely see artifacts and minor distortions in the resized images it produces. Also since I only needed to resize one photo per day, the computational overhead was not a very big deal.
