ABSTRACT:
Morphing is a useful technique for computer animation, modeling, and shape recognition that involves establishing and computing a realistic continuous transformation which changes one object into another. Our goal is to provide the animator with an intuitive interface to specify the desired correspondences between the important features of each polyhedron and to specify the trajectories for each of these correspondences to travel during the morph. From the user’s specification the system should generate a morph that results in a smooth and visually pleasing transition from one polyhedron to the other.
