Image Morphing – A Survey

Shahana Bano, Dr. M. S. Prasad Babu, C. Naga Raju

Abstract


Image morphing has been the subject of much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful visual effects tool in film and television, depicting the transformation of one digital image into another. When this process is used effectively, the photograph can be transformed into anything a person wants with dramatic effects. In this paper we implemented various techniques of image morphing and compared them. We tried to automate the process as much as possible.


Keywords


Animation techniques, Vaughn morphing, Metamorphoses.
