This paper proposed an image deformation method based on outlines using modified Moving Least Squares. Firstly, we set some key points in the image to create control outlines as required and then move these points to generate new outlines. In order to warp these outlines to their new positions, we deform the image using modified Moving Least Squares. We provide a simple deformation formula and test the proposed method with cartoon image and realistic image. Experimental results show that the deformation is more realistic compared with the original Moving Least Squares method.
