The Morphological Cross-Dissolve
by Kevin Novins and James Arvo. SIGGRAPH '99 Conference Abstracts
and Applications, p. 257, New York: Association for Computing
Machinery, August 1999.
Overview
We define a new operator, called the morphological
cross-dissolve, that blends binary or grayscale images using
mathematical image morphology. The operator gradually
changes shapes in the source image until they match corresponding
shapes in the target image. In the case of gray-scale images, the
morphological cross-dissolve also changes gray levels while distorting
shapes, and achieves more natural transitions than traditional
cross-dissolves. The new operator is completely automatic, requiring
no user-supplied feature lines or correspondences.
