G2: Capture face, read about morphing, find a morphing tool

1. Capture your face with the 3D scanner. Get software installed to view the model on your computer. 

• Turn in a short 5 second screen capture of your rotating your own face. Nothing fancy, just proving you can capture and load 3D models.

2. Read about morphing: classic paper, recent paper, something you find

• Feature Based Image Metamorphosis, Beier and Neely, SIGGRAPH 1992. Links to an external site.
• Automated image morphing using structural similarity on a halfway domain, Liao, Lima, Nehab, Hoppe, Sander, Yu, SIGGRAPH 2014. Links to an external site.
  • It is sufficient to watch the two videos for this one and skim through the paper (read only intro, related work, ... results figures, conclusions) (skipping ugly math details about exactly how it works unless you are really interested)
• A paper you find yourself about image morphing

Turn in a reading log with a short paragraph on each paper that explains what the main research contribution of that work is. Also a short proposal of a new research idea that could be a future paper if it worked out. 1 page of text total is sufficient.

3. Find a morphing tool. This could be commercial software, a code library, a research application. Whatever you think might help us experiment with morphing. We will want actually experiment in next weeks assignment, so we need lots of possible ideas that we can discuss next Tuesday.

• Turn in: add a paragraph to the reading log that talks about your tool. 

I presume this system will let you upload two files. I prefer not .zipped together if its possible separately (for my ease of looking quickly). Name the files with G2_LastName_FirstName.[mov/pdf/doc/etc]
