Abstract
Image morphing is used to provide visual effects in television and film. Image Morphing derives from the word Metamorphosis, means change shape and size of an image. Transition of one object to another is termed as Morphing. This is an animation technique which metamorphoses the first image into the second image. The morphing technique has two steps: firstly it warps two images to have same shape and in second step it cross dissolves resulting images. The warping is 2-D geometric transformation of image, when applied, it generates a distorted image and cross-dissolving means color transformation. This paper uses mesh warping technique to build a framework of image based morphing of facial animation with low complexity. Image morphing is implemented using MATLAB software, which uses some digital images which are captured from camera. After morphing process, the program will output N number of images. These images are used together into a short animated sequence.
