Kafka Description

Kafka is an image-morphing utility, supporting both advanced facial expression mapping and basic photo morphing. Users load two different images, specify a set of correspondence points between the two using an intuitive interface, and can output either a still image partway between the two images or a movie of the entire transition. In addition to the basic warping-and-dissolving functionality offered by existing programs such as xmorph/gtkmorph, Kafka will support a more advanced technique called "expression mapping". Expression mapping builds on the basic image-morphing algorithm to allow users to manipulate images of human facial expressions easily and naturally. The results of EM are much more photorealistic and believable than you would get by simply warping the pixels of the original image: subtle details of shading and wrinkles are preserved, and you can even open and close people's mouths. Kafka will also be heavily optimized, making use of SIMD instruction sets such as MMX and SSE where available.
