Image Morphing Algorithm Based on Biharmonic Spline Interpolation and Its Implementation

Ni Kui · 2007

Image warping is an important technique in the field of computer animation.This paper presented a method to implement it.In this method,surface interpolation based on Biharmonic spline was used for image spatial mapping.By using inverse mapping and bi-linear interpolation to implement image resampling and combining image's cross-dissolve,we completed image morphing.Due to the flexibility of this method,animators can easily adjust the numbers or positions of feature points to control the detail of warping without other operations.Experiments show that this approach can produce fluid and natural transition image.Besides,every warped image has both stable image boundary and good visibility.
