Image Morphing is a feature-based visual transformation technique: it seamlessly blends a source image into a target image across a sequence of intermediate frames.

This technology executes through two core operations: geometric warping and cross-dissolving. Warping aligns the key features—like eyes or nose contours—using user-defined control points or lines to match the destination image's structure. Simultaneously, a cross-dissolve operation linearly interpolates the pixel colors, ensuring a smooth color transition. The technique gained massive public attention in 1991 with the photorealistic face-morphing sequence in Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' video, establishing it as a staple of digital visual effects (VFX).

### [Face Morphing through DL and Convex Combinations](https://medellin.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_q-z_07EzYPo)

Demostraré un pipeline para hacer morphing entre dos imágenes de entrada que contienen rostos.. Este pipeline consta de dos pasos: 1. Detección de rostros y de puntos de referencia en rostros usando dos modelos de Deep learning disponibles libremente. 2. Generación de una nueva imagen como una interpolación convexa entre las dos imágenes de entrada, informalmente "alpha * Img1 + (1-alpha) * Img2". Cada pixel de esta imagen se calcula a partir de una combinación convexa de pixeles correspondientes las imagenes de entrada.
