Corrigendum to "Skeleton-driven 2D distance field metamorphosis using intrinsic shape parameters

Abstract In this article a novel algorithm is presented for 2-D shape interpolation using the intrinsic shape parameters of a piecewise linear curve. The skeletons of two given shapes are computed and the smooth transformation of distance fields is driven by metamorphosis from the skeleton of the source object to that of the target one. We introduce feature graphs, linear forms of skeletons, to guide the construction of intermediate skeleton. If the topologies of the source object and the target one are different, their feature graphs will be automatically extended with equivalent topologies. Then we apply the technique of intrinsic shape parameters to the smooth transition of the extended feature graphs, which will guide the metamorphosis of the skeletons. Not only can the new approach be capable of morphing between objects with different topological genus, but also the topologies and the shapes of the intermediate objects can be controlled efficiently.
