Morphing involves the smooth transformation of one model, called the source to another, called the target. Several methods have been employed in this field both for two and three dimensional morphing. This paper performs morphing through the usage of cellular automata. The goal was to develop morphing algorithms that would minimize the need for both the user input and correspondence specificati...

Most illustration systems need a lot of user strokes to generate natural-looking pen-and-ink illustrations. In order. to reduce the number of user strokes necessary, we propose a new method for pen-and-ink illustrations using a stroke morphing concept. For this, we introduce a general stroke morphing procedure, which consists of both jlow-oriented morphing and shape-oriented morphing. Using thi...

This paper presents a hierarchical approach to control law design for morphing dynamics. The starting point is a performance map defined on a subspace of the morphing state-space which defines operation regime of the morphing structure. It is shown that a discrete connected graph can be superimposed on the performance envelope, traversing whose nodes makes all morphing states inside the envelop...

Morphing wingtip technology could improve the reduction of induced drag, fuel consumption, and take-off landing distances in fixed wing configurations. We describe this work a morphing winglet concept based on active inflatable honeycombs Shape Memory Polymer Composite (SMPC) skins. The combination two materials structural subsystems allow deployment, with skin able to withstand aerodynamic loa...

Approach: There are two variants of our work: inter-voice morphing and intra-voice morphing. In the intra-voice morphing scenario, a single person’s voice is recorded uttering a wide range of utterances. The speaker’s phones are then morphed in time to generate new utterances of the speaker. We note that intra-voice morphing addresses the same problem that concatenative speech synthesis algorit...

This paper experimentally shows the importance of perceptual continuity of the expressive strength in vocal timbre for natural change in vocal expression. In order to synthesize various and continuous expressive strengths with vocal timbre, we investigated gradually changing expressions by applying the STRAIGHT speech-morphing algorithm to singing voices. Here, a singing voice without expressio...

Shape control of adaptive wings has the potential to enhance wing aerodynamic performance during cruise and high-speed off-design conditions. A possible way to attain this objective is to develop specific technologies for trailing edge morphing, aimed at variating the airfoil camber. In the framework of SARISTU project (EU-FP7), an innovative structural system incorporating a gapless deformable...

Meshes have become a widespread and popular representation of models in computer graphics. Morphing techniques aim at transforming a given source shape into a target shape. Morphing techniques have various applications ranging from special effects in television and movies to medical imaging and scientific visualization. Not surprisingly, morphing techniques for meshes have received a lot of int...

Accent morphing aims to modify the accent of a speaker whilst maintaining speaker identity. A textindependent approach could be based on voice conversion systems which manipulate speaker identity through spectral mapping. However, it is not clear to what extent accent changes can be captured with spectral mapping alone. In this paper we implement and evaluate a text-dependent accent morphing sy...

This paper proposes a new application of speech modi cation called "speech morphing". In image processing, morphing is a well known technique that gradually changes one person's face to that of someone else. Speech morphing produces similar results for speech; i.e., one person's speech is gradually changed to that of someone else. Speech morphing makes it possible to create movies or multi-medi...
