Contemporary morphing designs are focused towards enabling a vehicle to transition from one distinct flight regime to another. Such a change often requires highly complex morphing that is designed to address both aerodynamic performance and handling criteria. The University of Florida has developed a morphing demonstrator to investigate the effect of a biologically-inspired gull-wing morphing o...

This paper focuses on the development and demonstration of a novel blade morphing system within whirl tower facility. The scope is to investigate behavior proposed architecture under representative loads, demonstrating its capability alter original shape in operation centrifugal, aerodynamic, internal forces. concept was developed inside European project “Shape Adaptive Blades for Rotorcraft Ef...

A morphing malware is malicious software that uses a code morphing program, ormorphing engine, to transform its own code into a morphed variant. The goal ofthis transformation is to evade recognition by malware detectors. This dissertationproposes and evaluates a new method for detecting morphed malware variants. The method uses information about the morphing engine to recognize var...

Volume morphing is a technique used for generating smooth 3D image transformations and deformations. In this paper, several algorithms are developed for morphing transformations that create new forms and simulate shape deformation and growth in biomedical applications. 3D biological point landmarks and their movements are deened to guide the morphing transformation using a scattered data interp...

Image morphing has been the subject of much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful visual effects tool in film and television, depicting the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. This paper reviews the growth of this field and describes recent advances in image morphing in terms of three areas: feature specification, warp generation methods, and transition c...

We propose a new animation technique, called flock morphing, to create special morphing effects between two arbitrary 3D objects by combining the features of 3D morphing and flock animation. Its core idea is first to tetrahedralize the source 3D mesh and regard each tetrahedron as an agent in a flock and then continually generate the flock morphing animation until the target mesh emerges, forme...

This paper describes an animation for multi-scale representation of spatial data. More specifically, morphing technique is employed to animate the operations for the geometric transformations in digital map generalization. Operations required for the geometric transformations are first introduced; morphing technique is then described; the animation of these operations with morphing technique is...

A new concept called defocus morphing in real aperture images is introduced. View morphing is an existing example of shape-preserving image morphing based on the motion cue. It is proved that images can also be morphed based on the depth-related defocus cue. This illustrates that the morphing operation is not necessarily a geometric process alone; one can also perform a photometry-based morphin...

Given two different drawings of a planar graph we consider the problem of morphing one drawing into the other. We designed and implemented an algorithm for intersection-free morphing of planar graphs. Our algorithm uses a combination of different techniques to achieve smooth transformations: rigid morphing, compatible triangulations, as well as morphing based on interpolation of the convex repr...
