Isometric Morphing of Triangular Meshes

We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same non-rigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space S. For triangulated 3D polygons, we prove that interpolating linearly in this shape space corresponds to the most isometric morph in R3 . We extend this shape space to arbitrary triangulations in 3D using a heuristic approach.
