This repository contains a simple GUI for automating an image morph given an input and output image.

An example input and output image has been provided under directory input.

1. [Dependence]

This section lists third-party libraries and external system requirements needed to build and run the code.

• ImageMagick

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

MacOS

brew install imagemagick

• Linux/ MacOS Operating System
• Windows (Work In Progress)
• Quartz - For MacOS only
• Git

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

MacOS

brew install git

2. [Build]

This section provides instruction on how to setup and build the code.

1. Download the repository to your local workstation.

git clone git@github.com:zhzdeng/Image-Morphing.git

2. Jump into the file directory you cloned it to.

cd Image-Morphing

3. Compile the code.

make

3. [Install]

Copy generated binaries to either usr/bin or usr/local/bin for general use.

sudo make install

4. [Usage]

morphing -s     source image
         -d     destination image
         [-o]   output directory. Default = root directory.
         [-n]   the number of transitional images

Once the [Build] has been executed, run the command below.

./morphing -s input/1.jpg -d input/2.jpg

1. You should a GUI window pop up.
2. With the GUI window opened, you can annotate it like so.

Select a point on the first image and then select its corresponding poitn in the second image. This is entirely up to your discretion.

3. Upon finished selecting enough points, Close the window. Intermediate .jpg frames are generated in your output directory.
4. You can follow the next section to convert those frames into a .mp4 video.

5. [JPG To MP4]

Run the command below to complete step 4 of [Usage].

ffmpeg -r 12 -i ./%d.jpg -vcodec mpeg4 ./video.mp4

You should be able to get the final resulting video.mp4 like so.
