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.
