Overview

In this project, I created morphs between images and played around with image warping. My first morphing animation entails a picture of myself morphed into George Clooney.

Defining Correspondences

The first step to morph images togetehr is to define their correspondences. In order to do this, I used the get_points funtion from project 2 and improved it to select any number of points on each image. I choose 35 points to map the correspondences and calculated a Delaunay triangulation using the average shape of the 2 corresponding lists of points.

Computing the "Midway" Face

In order to compute the midway face, I used my auto_morphin function to only compute the middle piture of the morph sequence.

Morph Sequence: Auto Morphing

I created the morphing sequence by defining an auto_morph function that can compute the average shape of the corresponding points of any 2 images, apply affine transformation to the triangles in the Delaunay triangulation and cross-dissolve the image. Then, I computed the 45 images using a for loop that would increment the warp factor from 0 and increase by 1/45 for each image to create the sequence.
