Abstract

In this paper, we experiment image warping and morphing. In image warping, we use radial basis functions : Thin Plate Spline, Multi-quadratic and Gaussian. Then we obtain the fact that Thin Plate Spline interpolation of the displacement with reverse mapping is the efficient means of image warping. Reflecting the result of image warping, we generate two examples of image morphing.
