Morphing is an animation technique that blends two still images into a sequence that transforms one image into the other. It works by warping the images so they have the same shape and then cross dissolving between them. The warping process maps each pixel in one image to a corresponding pixel in the other. It uses either forward or reverse mapping. Cross dissolving gradually fades out the first image while fading in the second. Morphing has applications in entertainment for special effects and was used in music videos like Michael Jackson's "Black or White".

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Morphing derived from the word metamorphosis. Metamorphosis means to change shape, appearance or form.Example:

WHAT IS MORPHING?

Morphing can be defined as: - Transition from one object to another. - Process of transforming one image into another. An animation technique that allows you to blend two still images, creating a sequence of in between pictures that when played in Quick Time, metamorphoses the first image into the second.

HOW IS MORPHING DONE?

As the metamorphosis proceeds , - The first image is gradually distorted and is faded out.

- The second image starts out totally distorted


toward the first and is faded in.

The morph process consists of :1) Warping two images so that they have the same

shape.
2) Cross dissolving the resulting images .

WARPING

A warp is a 2-D geometric transformation and generates a distorted image when it is applied to an image.

Warping an image means : apply a given deformation to it.


Two ways to warp an image: Forward mapping. Reverse mapping.

Each pixel in source image is mapped to an appropriate pixel in destination image. Some pixels in the destination image may not be mapped.

This method goes through each pixel in the destination image and samples an appropriate source image pixel. All destination image pixels are mapped to some source image pixel. This mapping is used in the Beier/Neely line morphing method.

CROSS DISSOLVING

A cross-dissolve is a sequence of images which implements a gradual fade from one to the other.

THE MORPHING PROCESS

Step I : Interpolating the lines: Interpolate the coordinates of the end points of every pair of lines.

Step II : Warping the Images Each of the source images has to be deformed towards the needed frame. The deformation works pixel by pixel is based on the reverse mapping. This algorithm is called Beier-Neely Algorithm.

IDEA IS TO: 1) Compute position of pixel X in destination image relative to the line drawn in destination image. (x,y) (u,v)

2) Compute coordinates of pixel in source image whose position


relative to the line drawn in source image is (u,v). (u,v) (x,y)

For each pixel X=(x,y) in the destination image DSUM=(0,0) , weightsum=0 for each line(Pi, Qi) calculate(ui,vi) based on Pi, Qi calculate (xi, yi) based on u,v and Pi, Qi calculate displacement Di = Xi X for this line compute weight for line(Pi,Qi)
DSUM+=Di*weight weightsum+=weight (xy) = (x,y)+DSUM/weightsum color at destination pixel(x,y) = color at source pixel(xy)

MORPHING EXAMPLES

APPLICATIONS OF MORPHING

Used to produce special effects in entertainment industry. Example : Michael Jacksons Black or white music video.

In the Terminator Movie
