Abstract: When morphing is used, distortion of the image is introduced by the averaging caused by multiple control lines. The deformation of a straight line segment is used as a barometer in measuring the distortion caused by the morphing process. Theorems are proved that describe the deformation on a straight line segment. Additionally in the two control lines case, a theorem is proved describing the type of curvature deformation. Sufficient conditions are also given for control line placement in order to remove the distortion effects.;A new image compression method, Morphing for Motion Interpolation (MMI) is proposed to apply morphing into motion picture interpolation with the advantages of both morphing and motion compensation. MMI method also keeps the MPEG features such as Random Access, etc. Two versions of MMI encoder and decoder are also given.
