The Morphing Space
نویسنده
چکیده
Morphing is a well known technique to generate smooth transitions between two objects. We propose a more general understanding of morphing: First, we use morphing to describe objects as a composite of other objects. Second, we allow this description to incorporate more than two base objects. Given this concept a set of objects produced by morphing among multiple objects forms a mathematical space, which we call morphing space. We present a mathematical framework to discuss the properties of such spaces and their relation to the applied morphing algorithms for synthesizing the elements. We show that not only synthesis of objects but also analysis of objects is possible in a morphing space. Analysis results in the definition of an object in terms of the base objects of which it is comprised. Algorithms are proposed for both the synthesis and the analysis process.

A Hierarchical Control Approach to Morphing Dynamics
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...

A multi-objective optimization (MOO) of two-element wing models with morphing flap by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, artificial neural networks (ANN), and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms (NSGA II), is performed in this paper. At first, the domain is solved numerically in various two-element wing models with morphing flap using CFD techniques and lift (L) and drag ...
متن کاملMorphing of Triangular Meshes in Shape Space
We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same nonrigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space S. For triangulated 3D polygons, we prove that interpolating linearly in this shape space corresponds to the most isometric morph in R3. We then extend this shape space to arbitrary triangulations in 3D us...
متن کاملMorphing: Combining Structure and Randomness
We introduce a mechanism called “morphing” for introducing structure or randomness into a wide variety of problems. We illustrate the usefulness of morphing by performing several different experimental studies. These studies identify the impact of a “small-world” topology on the cost of coloring graphs, of asymmetry on the cost of finding the optimal TSP tour, and of the dimensionality of space...
متن کاملTemporal Color Morphing
Many natural phenomena usually appear in the scenes of movies. They are characterized by color changing smoothly following the time’s advancement, e.g. day breaking, leaves’ resurgence, foliage greening from yellow or yellowing from green. They are difficult to be captured wholly because of the long time span. Traditional methods for making these types of scenes are inefficient or makeshifts. I...
