We introduce a novel method for three-dimensional metamorphosis between two polyhedral objects with different topologies. The 3D objects are represented as multiple 2D images and well-understood 2D morphing techniques are used to morph between their 2D representations. The resulting 2D morphs are used to reconstruct the intermediate 3D objects. The user controls the metamorphosis by matching fe...

In the field of aeronautics, shape morphing has been used to identify those aircraft that undergo substantial geometrical changes in their external shape to enhance or adapt to their mission profiles during flight. This creates superior system capabilities not possible without morphing shape changes. The objective of morphing concepts is to develop high performance aircraft with lifting surface...

We have developed a new disparity mapping technique for image morphing which prevents synthesized images from blurring and a fast rendering technique which realizes interactive morphing animation. In the image morphing rendering process, all pixels are moved according to their disparity maps and then distorted images are mixed with each other. Calculation costs of this process tend to be high b...

Morphing involves the smooth transformation of one model, called the source to another, called the target. Several methods have been employed in this field both for two and three dimensional morphing. This paper performs morphing through the usage of cellular automata. The goal was to develop morphing algorithms that would minimize the need for both the user input and correspondence specificati...

Most illustration systems need a lot of user strokes to generate natural-looking pen-and-ink illustrations. In order. to reduce the number of user strokes necessary, we propose a new method for pen-and-ink illustrations using a stroke morphing concept. For this, we introduce a general stroke morphing procedure, which consists of both jlow-oriented morphing and shape-oriented morphing. Using thi...

This paper presents a hierarchical approach to control law design for morphing dynamics. The starting point is a performance map defined on a subspace of the morphing state-space which defines operation regime of the morphing structure. It is shown that a discrete connected graph can be superimposed on the performance envelope, traversing whose nodes makes all morphing states inside the envelop...

The morphing of an air vehicle is to change its shape and size substantially during flight. Thus, the morphing vehicle is to achieve a broader range of operational modes, all of which will maximize the vehicle performance throughout its mission profile. The dream of human flight has been to mimic birds or insect flights in similar manner since the days of Leonardo da Vinci. Our current aeronaut...

Approach: There are two variants of our work: inter-voice morphing and intra-voice morphing. In the intra-voice morphing scenario, a single person’s voice is recorded uttering a wide range of utterances. The speaker’s phones are then morphed in time to generate new utterances of the speaker. We note that intra-voice morphing addresses the same problem that concatenative speech synthesis algorit...

Meshes have become a widespread and popular representation of models in computer graphics. Morphing techniques aim at transforming a given source shape into a target shape. Morphing techniques have various applications ranging from special effects in television and movies to medical imaging and scientific visualization. Not surprisingly, morphing techniques for meshes have received a lot of int...

This paper will explore the technology behind corrugated model morphing wings and their potential benefits to society. The two major models of corrugated morphing wings will be examined and explained. In order to provide background, the technology and shape behind all morphing wings will also be examined. The applications of these wings will then be explored. Using data from wind tunnel testing...
