We present an extension to a previous morphing method for human motion. It works on motion capture data that is segmented into movement elements. Our new timewarping algorithm accepts time-dependent continuous functions as input for the morphing coefficients without introducing foot sliding. It is designed for creating new natural looking motions from given prototype motions. We employ a zero-m...

The ability to automatically morph an existing mesh to conform to geometry modifications is a necessary capability to enable rapid prototyping of design variations. This paper compares six methods for morphing hexahedral and tetrahedral meshes, including the previously published FEMWARP and LBWARP methods as well as four new methods. Element quality and performance results show that different m...

V advisors often increase sales for those customers who find such online advice to be convenient and helpful. However, other customers take a more active role in their purchase decisions and prefer more detailed data. In general, we expect that websites are more preferred and increase sales if their characteristics (e.g., more detailed data) match customers’ cognitive styles (e.g., more analyti...

Widely used for morphing between objects with arbitrary topology, distance field interpolation (DFI) handles topological transition naturally without the need for correspondence or remeshing, unlike surface-based interpolation approaches. However, lack of correspondence in DFI also leads to ineffective control over the morphing process. In particular, unless the user specifies a dense set of la...

The proposed technique extends conventional image morphing algorithms by offering additional control over the processing of the individual multi-resolutions that are used in the wavelet representation when moving from the source to the destination image. This gives the animator the possibility to introduce a disparity between the morphing of global and detail features that can lead to interesti...

This paper presents a new method for automatically generating a transition between two given B-spline curves or surfaces. Rather than treating the curves or surfaces as purely geometric objects, we distribute mass, damping, elasticity onto them. For elastic objects, morphing can be formulated as a boundary-valued problem of ordinary differential equations. By using Modal Analysis, the boundary-...

We explore creating smooth transitions between videos of different scenes. As in traditional image morphing, good spatial correspondence is crucial to prevent ghosting, especially at silhouettes. Video morphing presents added challenges. Because motions are often unsynchronized, temporal alignment is also necessary. Applying morphing to individual frames leads to discontinuities, so temporal co...

The assessment of 2 0 shape transformations (or morphing) for animation is a dificult task because it is a multi-dimensional problem. Existing morphing techniques pay most attention to shape information, interactive control and mathematical simplicity. This paper shows that it is not enough to use shape information only and we should consider other factors such as structure, dynamics, timing et...

closure of donor site of the flap has special problems. reduction of this site will decrease the morbidity of operation. in this study, we present our experience in donor site size reduction. methods between 2006 and 2008, 15 patients with skin and soft tissue defects underwent operation. in all patients, coverage of defect was performed with various flaps. substratum horizontal mat-tress sutur...
