Elastic Morphing of 2D and 3D Objects on a Shape Manifold
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new method for morphing 2D and 3D objects. In particular we focus on the problem of smooth interpolation on a shape manifold. The proposed method takes advantage of two recent works on 2D and 3D shape analysis to compute elastic geodesics between any two arbitrary shapes and interpolations on a Riemannian manifold. Given a finite set of frames of the same (2D or 3D) object from a video sequence, or different expressions of a 3D face, our goal is to interpolate between the given data in a manner that is smooth. Experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Object Shape Morphing with Intermediate Reflectance Properties
Image morphing techniques can create a smooth transition between two images. However, one of the main weakness of the image morphing technique is that intermediate images in the transition often have physically incorrect shading such as highlights and shadows. Moreover, we cannot alter viewing and lighting conditions when creating the intermediate images. That is because those images are obtain...

متن کاملThree-Dimensional Metamorphosis Using Multiplanar Representation
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...
متن کاملPiecewise-Bézier C1 Interpolation on Riemannian Manifolds with Application to 2D Shape Morphing
We present a new framework to fit a path to a given finite set of data points on a Riemannian manifold. The path takes the form of a continuously-differentiable concatenation of Riemannian Bézier segments. The selection of the control points that define the Bézier segments is partly guided by the differentiability requirement and by a minimal mean squared acceleration objective. We illustrate o...
متن کاملFusion of 3D Shapes
Many modeling techniques for geometric objects have been developed; they allow the user to create, deform, animate objects and produce complex ones from simple primitives. This paper presents a new technique which composes two 2D or 3D interpenetrating shapes by creating another one including them and having a smooth aspect. By moving into each other, composed objects fuse smoothly and naturall...
