Abstract
Image metamorphosis, commonly known as morphing, is a powerful tool for visual effects that consists of the fluid transformation of one digital image into another. There are many techniques for image metamorphosis, but in all of them there is a need for a person to supply the correspondence between the features in the source image and target image. In this paper we use the Active Shape Models and Evolution Strategies to perform the metamorphosis of face images in frontal view automatically.
