Highlights • Empower animators to create a visually pleasing morph • Simple user interface • General
Previous Work • Kanai et al. [1997] • DeCarlo and Gallier [1996] • Galin and Akkouche [1996] • Lazarus and Verroust [1994] • Kent, Carlson, and Parent [1992] • Kaul and Rossignac [1991] • Wyvill [1990]
Two Input Polyhedra User Specify Correspondence Edit trajectories Compute merged polyhedron Interpolate trajectories Morphing sequence Overview
Correspondence Computation • Feature-Nets decompose input polyhedra into morphing patches • For each corresponding Morphing Patch pair: • map both onto a 2D polygon • merge the vertex-edge graphs • reconstruct the facets
Correspondence Computation A (Igloo) B (House)
Correspondence Computation Patch A Patch B Extremal Vertices
Mapping Patch A Patch B
Merging Patch A Patch B
Analysis Computation time = O(K*[m+n]) K = max{log Q,Q} m = vertices in A n = vertices in B
Implementation • Implemented in C++ • Uses OpenGL and Tcl/Tk libraries for display and user interface. • Interactive user interface on SGI and PC systems

Ongoing Efforts • Remove restriction that the chains of the feature net must lie on edges of the models • Do not require the user to specify a connected feature net • Provide better control of the model’s shape during the morph
Ongoing Efforts • Remove restriction that models must be homeomorphic • models can change topology during the morph • Extend to include textured objects • currently interpolate only normals and vertex color
Conclusion • Empower animators to create a visually pleasing morph • Simple user interface • Compute correspondence through surface decomposition • General
