- That reminds me. One of our students did a fourth-year project involving
- interactively tracing a skeleton from a sequence of digitized video frames.
- You could view the different frames (e g a human face from different angles),
- rotate the skeleton to match, and keep making adjustments to it until you got
- what you thought was a satisfactory match to the different frames.
-
- It seems to me this sort of thing could be useful in conjunction with another
- program to do the actual morphing. Might give you more realistic morphs!
