Image Morphing

Image Morphing

The technique of image `morphing' (slowing blending of one image into another) is widely used in the media. The technique of transforming one image into another using a combination of image warping and colour fading has become increasingly popular in films and TV. The project will develop a `morphing' program.

Typically these programs require the user to draw a grid over the source and destination images to define the mapping between them. This program will allow the user to pick out the control-points and regions using mouse-clicks in the usual manner.

Most programs only allow interpolative morphing (producing images lying between the two images) even though extrapolative morphing (producing an image that extends 'beyond' one of the control images) is technically possible. An additional aim of the project might be to write a morphing program which allows both interpolative and extrapolative morphing to be done using arbitrary pairs of images.
