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 is a person who supplies the correspondence between the features in the source image and target image. In this paper we use a method to find the faces in the image and the Active Shape Models to find the features in the face images and perform the metamorphosis of face images in frontal view automatically.
