A computer-implemented method for morphing among multiple images uses as inputs a predetermined set of coefficients and a plurality of warping functions. Each image defined by a plurality of points in a first space and each point has a color. The method generates a derived warping function, determines an inverse of the derived warping function, warps each image to the first image, blends the colors using the predetermined set of coefficients, applies the inverse of the derived warping function to points in the first space to generate a warped image, and applies the blended color to the warped image.

A method and apparatus, including a computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for warping a digital image. The iterative mesh-based warping techniques select a plurality of elements from a dense mesh, each element of the mesh corresponding to one or more pixels of a digital image and representing a vector of displacement values. A kernel is applied iteratively to the mesh in order to update the selected elements with new displacement values until a termination condition is achieved, such as the convergence of the displacement values to a fixed point. The kernel is selected so that the iterations converge to a solution of an appropriate differential equation. The resultant mesh is applied to the digital image, thereby warping the image according to the new displacement values. The displacement values of the selected elements and the non-selected elements as used as inputs to the kernel. The new displacement values generated by the kernel are written to the selected elements without updating the displacement values of the non-selected elements.

A computer-implemented system performs a conformal warp operation using a unique warping function to map a first area to a second area. The first area is defined by a first enclosing contour and the second area is defined by a second enclosing contour. The system defines the first enclosing contour; modifies the first enclosing contour into the second enclosing contour; generates an analytic function to conformally warp the first area into the second area; and performs the conformal warp using the analytic function.

Given an image with an unwanted feature, a collection of pixels (a defined region) entirely containing the unwanted feature is designated, and replacement data values for the defined region are generated, thereby healing the unwanted feature. A selected image region is healed by propagating values in a boundary region into replacement data values for the selected image region by iteratively applying a procedure or algorithm (e. g. , iteratively applying one or more kernels), such that values in the boundary region are continuously put back into the iterative calculations. An example of such a function uses kernels to generate replacement data values having multiple orders of continuity at the boundary. Optionally, replacement data values for an image region to be healed are generated based on a difference between existing data values and texture data values, thereby introducing texture (e. g. , pattern, noise) components to a resulting healed region in the image.

A method and computer program product for generating a warping effect in an image having a plurality of regions, each associated with a distortion vector. The method includes defining a path segment vector in response to user movement of a brush cursor; modifying one or more distortion vectors having originations covered by the cursor based on the path segment vector; and repeating defining and modifying to produce a warping effect.
