A novel approach of image morphing based on pixel transformation

Image morphing has been the subject of much attention in recent years. It has proven to be a powerful tool for visual effects in film and television, depicting the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. This paper presents a new approach of image morphing based on pixel transformation that depicts the transformation of pixels with their neighborhoods. The method is organized with the replacement of the pixel values of a source image and convolving the neighbor with the help of a mask. This algorithm changes an image from a particular side or from the center. Experimental results demonstrate that the method is fast and efficient for image morphing.
