We extend prior work on class-morphing to provide a more expressive pattern-based compile-time reflection language. Our MorphJ language offers a disciplined form of metaprogramming that produces types by statically iterating over and pattern-matching on fields and methods of other types. We expand such capabilities with “universal morphing”, which also allows pattern-matching over types (e.g., ...

This paper describes a singing design method based on morphing, the design and development of an intuitive interface to assist morphing-based singing design. The proposed interface has a function for real-time morphing, based on simple operation with a mouse, and an editor to control the singing features in detail. The user is able to enhance singing voices efficiently by using these two functi...

A series of perceptual experiments using morphed emotional speech sounds was conducted. A high-quality speech modification procedure STRAIGHT [1] extended to enable auditory morphing[2] was used for providing CD quality test stimuli. The test results indicated that naturalness of morphed speech samples were comparable to natural speech samples and resynthesized samples without any modifications...

In a re-identification attack, an adversary analyzes the sizes of intercepted encrypted VoIP packets to infer characteristics of the underlying audio— for example, the language or individual phrases spoken on the encrypted VoIP call. Traffic morphing has been proposed as a general solution for defending against such attacks. In traffic morphing, the sender pads ciphertext to obfuscate the distr...

This paper presents an innovative method for naturally and smoothly morphing point-sampled surfaces via dynamic meshless simulation on point-sampled surfaces. While most existing literature on shape morphing emphasizes the issue of finding a good correspondence map between two object representations, this research primarily investigates the challenging problem of how to find a smooth, physicall...

This paper presents a procedure to synthesize planar rigid-body mechanisms, containing both prismatic and revolute joints, capable of approximating a shape change defined by a set of morphing curves in different positions. The existing mechanization process is extended specifically to enable the design of morphing aircraft wings. A portion of the closed-curve morphing chain that has minimal dis...

As a result of its increasing role in the enterprise, the IT function is changing, morphing from a technology provider into a strategic partner. Key to this change is its abi lity to deliver business value by aligning and supporting the business objectives of the enterprise. IT Management frameworks such as ITIL provide best practices and processes that support the IT function in this trans iti...

Digital Clay is proposed as the next generation humanmachine communication interface with a morphing, tangible and haptic shape / surface. It is composed of a large array of hydraulic actuators in a planar pin-rod style and corresponding control system. It will be constructed using MEMS technology ultimately to satisfy the resolution, manufacturing and cost requirements. Per the ultimate object...

In this paper, we present a new deformable volume rendering algorithm. The volume deformation is modeled by a landmark-based volume morphing method uisng Hardy's scattered data interpolation. The algorithm is able to directly render the deformed volume without going through the expensive volume construction process. Piecewise linear approximation of the deformation function by adaptive space su...
