ReMorph - Presentation - 2005

This document summarizes a facial warping and morphing application developed by a team of 6 students and their supervisor. The team's objective was to develop an application to morph between two images that supports annotation, movies, real-time feedback, image capture, extensibility and saving projects. Their solution splits the architecture into three main components - a GUI, core and algorithms. The core manages algorithms, encoding, plugins and saving. A model represents morphs using objects. The GUI provides image editing, video playback and teaching modes. The team evaluated their work as successful due to organization and continuous integration.

Outline
 Objective
 Our Solution
 Core
 Model
 Algorithms
 GUI
 Evaluation
Objective
► Developan application to perform metamorphosis
between at least two images
► Program should support
 Annotation of features using anchors
 Produce movies of morphing sequences
 Real-time feedback of morph progress
 Live Image Capture
 Extensible/Flexible (Plug-in architecture)
 Saving/Loading of morph projects
 Teaching mode
► Create a marketable product
Our Solution
► Used Morpheus as a benchmark
► Split the architecture into three main components
 GUI
 Core
 Algorithm
► Took a user-centric approach to provide as many
features as possible to simplify the process
Development Approach
► Employed XP methods and guidelines
 Continuous Integration
 Unit Testing
 Pair Programming
Core
► The Core is responsible for the followings aspects:

 Calling the Algorithm on the Image


 Encoding an AVI
 Plug-in Management
 Sample Morph Loader (SML)
 Saving the Morph – XML Serialization
Model
► TheModel enables an entire Morph to be
represented by one object tree.

Model-Serialization
► Advantages of XML Serialization
 The Lingua-franca of the internet
 Human Readable / Editable
 Lightweight / Portable
Algorithms: Beier-Neely
► How it works

► Advantages:
 Provides user direct control

► Disadvantages:
 Curvature of face hard to represent using lines
 Performance issues CPU/Memory intensive
Algorithms: Mesh
► How it works

► Advantages:
 Performance uncorrelated to number of anchors
 Curvature of face easily represented with dots

► Disadvantages:
 No user definable parameters
 Undesirable Foldover effect
 Not as accurate
GUI
► The GUI creates a graphical representation
of the model.
► The GUI comprises of four forms
 Main Form
 Image Editor
 Video Player
 Teaching Mode
Demonstration
Evaluation
► Successful thanks to good organisation
► Regular team meetings
► Continuous Integration / Source Control
► Possible Improvements
 Live Warping
 Restructuring to improve performance
 Web Service
