Introduction
 “Morphing” is an interpolation technique used to
create a series of intermediate objects from two
objects.
 “The face - morphing algorithm” automatically
extracts feature points on the face and morphing is
performed.
 This algorithm is proposed by Mr. M.Biesel within
Bayesian framework to do automatic face morphing.
Outline of the Algorithm
Pre – Processing
removing the noisy backgrounds

clipping to get a proper facial image, and

scaling the image to a reasonable size. 


Feature Finding
Here we find 4 major feature points, namely the two eyes, and the two end-points of the mouth.

Eye - finding
Feature Finding
 We first compute the complexity map
 we multiply the complexity map by a weighting function.
 we find the three highest peaks in the weighted complexity
map .
 Finally, the similarity is measured in the correlation-coefficient
sense
Image Partitioning
Feature finder can gives the positions of the eyes and the end
points of the mouth, so we get 4 feature points.

We generate 6 more feature points around the face edge.

Image Partitioning
Based on these 10 feature points, 16 non-overlapping
triangular or quadrangular regions developed

As the feature points are at different positions, we do


warping between images.

Cross-Dissolving
The last phase of face - morphing
Cross-dissolving is described by the following equation,

where A,B are the pair of images, and C is the


morphing result.

Conclusion
 We believe that feature extraction is the key
technique for automatic face morphing algorithms.

 More and more feature points give the better result

 Therefore, in this presentation we emphasized on


eye-finder.

 This algorithm, is successful in eye detection rate by


84%.
