CS 194 Project 3: Face Morphing

By Sainan Chen

It's interesting to see how the shape and appearance of a person's face will change with growing age. I analyzed a baby's face and an elder's face by setting corresponding references points on their faces. Then I try to warp my face into their shapes as well as warping their faces to my face and overlap their warpped face on my face without changing my face shape. Finally I make a mid-way morphing face with both faces respectively, so it contains morphing on both shape and apperance. The result look much better than the previous two single manipulations!

warpped to mean shape

original

Morph to an older face!
Upper left: face to morph to
Upper right: only morph the shape
Lower left: only morph the apperance/color
Lower right: morph both

Morph to a younger face!
Upper left: face to morph to
Upper right: only morph the shape
Lower left: only morph the apperance/color
Lower right: morph both

To see the change process from a baby to an elder......
