Face swapping using modified dlib image morphology

Abstract

Morphing is an image processing technique used for the metamorphosis from one image to another. Apart from its application in entertainment industry, image morphing is also used in computer based trainings, electronic book illustrations, presentations, education purposes etc. The idea is to get the transition from source image to target image with maximum matching. To accomplish this, Image Morphing has gained attention from multimedia users and entertainment seekers in order to obtain fancier transitions and animations. The proposed Face Swapping technique is used to transform the source image to target image and vice-versa. The results are compared to the available pre-trained Dlib model for landmarks and the results are most encouraging. The landmarks highlight the important facial attributes.
