An Approach to Automatic Morphing of Face Images in Frontal View

Image metamorphosis, commonly known as morphing, is a powerful tool for visual effects that consists of the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. There are many techniques for image metamorphosis, but in all of them there is a need for a person to supply the correspondence between the features in the source image and target image. In this paper we describe a method to perform the metamorphosis of face images in frontal view with uniform illumination automatically, using a generic model of a face and evolution strategies to find the features in both face images.
