Morphing

This sequence of images was created using the Beier and Neely morphing technique.

Fig 1. Features are marked first in both images by drawing lines. (*) 

Fig 2.  The output GIF animation sequence. Corresponding feature lines in each of the  the two images (and surrounding pixels) are made to move towards each other in every frame. The two images are then cross dissolved.

(* source for the program to mark features was developed by Jeroen of MERL and made available by Hanspeter Pfister, Harvard Extension School to the advanced graphics class for the morphing assignment)
