I think here you can see that automated mapping between different faces is possible and the computer can smoothly morph between them. I think, the performance is much better than the imagination of humans can be.

This is typical of the "free-form transformations" that computers can achieve - and, I grant you, is v. impressive. (I really think there should be a general book celebrating some of the recent achievements of geometry in animation - is there?). But it is NOT mapping one body onto another. It is working only with one body, and transforming it in highly sophisticated operations. Computer software can't map two totally different bodies onto each other - can't perceive the likeness between the map of Italy and a boot. And it can't usually perceive the same body or face in different physical or facial forms - can't tell that two faces with v. different facial/emotional expressions belong to the same person, eg Madonna, can it? ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=117534816-b15a34 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
