Python Image Morpher (PIM) is a program that can take two images and blend them to whatever extent or precision that you like

Last update: Dec 19, 2022

Overview

Python Image Morpher (PIM) is a program that can take two images and blend them to whatever extent or precision that you like! It is designed to emulate some of Python's OpenCV image processing from scratch without reference.

This project began in Spring 2019 (detailed in readme_general.pdf, readme_phase_1.pdf, and readme_phase_2.pdf), requiring the usage of delaunay triangulation, projective/affine transformation, application of projections through matrices, masking, and alpha blending - all of which are still maintained - in order to accomplish image morphing. Thus, this repository is more of a 'proof of concept' than it is the most efficient way of accomplishing the given task of image morphing.

So far, this program has only been tested on separate Windows environments; if it does not already, later releases are likely to support Mac and Linux.

Installation:

This program has dependencies that do not come packaged with Python 3. To install the required modules, enter the following command using the terminal supplied by Windows or your choice of IDE (such as PyCharm):

pip install -r requirements.txt

Alternatively, for each module below that your machine does not have installed, enter the respective command(s):

PyQt5 - pip install pyqt5

SciPy - pip install scipy

NumPy - pip install numpy

Imageio - pip install imageio

Pynput - pip install pynput

OpenCV - pip install opencv-python

BeautifulSoup - pip install beautifulsoup4

If pip, for whatever reason, is not installed on your machine, enter the following line in a terminal:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

Followed by this line afterwards:

python get-pip.py

Usage:

Run MorphingApp.py either through the terminal or using an IDE
Use the graphical interface to select the two images you want to morph together
Alternate clicking on related points of interest in your images to create correspondences
When satisfied, click the blend button to observe the result!

A more detailed Help guide is included within PIM's GUI, if needed.

Proof of Concept - Perspective Shifting

Development 'To-Do' List:

Although I feel that PIM is now feature complete as a project, I will continue to support it with updates as they come to me. This potentially includes, but does not guarantee:

Feature: Automatic Correspondence Determination
- PIM may automatically generate points by scanning for similar features between images
Feature: Automatic Update Installation
Feature: Configuration Tab in GUI
- The user can set/reset default parameters for PIMs GUI to use on initialization
Enhancement: Undo/Redo Compatibility with Move/Delete Mouse Modes

If you encounter an error, a bug, or if you simply wish to request a change/feature, please file an issue using the tracker that GitHub provides, here.

Hello, What an interesting show! I tried with photos of cats and dogs, and the results are as follows：

It seems that the effect is not ideal. Do you have any suggestions？ Thanks

Save x,y coordinates of the landmarks

Hi, first of all, it's an amazing project of yours. I was reading your documentation and you write there that the user should be also able to upload the (x,y) coordinates of the landmark points. I have not found the option in your GUI. Is it already implemented? And more importantly, would it be possible to add a button for exporting the points into a txt file? Thanks a lot.

Feature request: move points with mouse drag

The GUI is great and I still can't stop admiring it. I was wondering -- would it be possible to add a functionality that a point can be selected after it's placed and then with a drag moved to another location? Because now if one makes a mistake or is not precise enough, the only fix is to delete the point and then place it again which is a bit annoying. And even more if one realises that this mistake has been done a few moves back :).

And especially with the automatic feature recognition mentioned in https://github.com/ddowd97/Python-Image-Morpher/issues/2, that would be a killer ;). I have some code related to automatic face landmark detection which I can share, it's not working great by itself but if the user could then tweak the not fitting parts, it would save the user a lot of time.

Enhancement: subpixel processing

Hi David,

Many thanks for your great image morphing application!

I created this Python command line program based on your work:

https://github.com/jankovicsandras/autoimagemorph

The main difference (beside no GUI) is that autoimagemorph selects the points automatically, using cv2.goodFeaturesToTrack() .

I noticed some image artifacts (bright pixels probably at Delaunay triangle edges) and found a simple method to remove them: upscale the image (for example 4x width and height), do the processing, downscale it to original size again. I call this subpixel processing in autoimagemorph , and the obvious downside is much more time and memory required (approx. 16x slower using -subpixel 4) . Still, it might be a good idea to provide this function optionally for better quality, as it's very easy to implement.

Keep up the good work! :)

PyQT errors

You must change opencv-python for opencv-python-headless in requirements.txt, as when executing the software it crashes as it uses opencv plugins instead of native PyQT ones.

Saving a blend as an image sequence

The .gif exported has (sometimes) compression artifacts. How can a blend created in the Python Image Morpher be exported as an image sequence? Converting the .gif to an image sequence does not help as the compression artifacts still remain. Thank You!

Save images

I've been looking a bit at the code now, and I don't seem to be able to figure out how I could output the final image as an image file. It would be cool to be able to output all the different frames from a full blend into a gif for example. I don't know if you could point me in a direction where I could figure it out self, or if it maybe could be easy to implement for you, but I would really apreciate it

Positive Feedback and Suggestions
Great work! Works perfectly in the Linux-container on my Chromebook.

Suggestions

graphical mode indicator/selector [add][move][del]

"Interim Steps" 10 -- 1000 instead blend 0.1 -- 0.001

Keep up the good work.

Releases(v2.0.2)

v2.0.2(Dec 29, 2021)
This update includes dependency changes. Please run the command "pip install -r requirements.txt" or equivalent after downloading.

Added

Configuration Tab (Work in Progress)

Initial GUI implementation for saving, loading, and handling default parameters requested by the user, such as default image search path

All widgets are currently disabled and will be enabled in a future update when ready

Changes

Image loading methods loadDataLeft() and loadDataRight() now default to the Images_Points folder when the user is prompted to select an image

This will be configurable when the Configuration tab is fully implemented and released

Code cleanup: Merged and removed duplicate methods for various GUI tasks to reduce unnecessary bloat - more planned in the future

updateRed() / updateGreen() / updateBlue() → updateColorSlider

triangleRedValueDone() / triangleGreenValueDone() / triangleBlueValueDone() → Removed in favor of directly calling verifyValue

Rewrote checkUpdate() to instead parse api.github.com as well as silently terminate on exception or failure

Modified requirements.txt:

Added Requests - missing from 2.0 release, required for checkUpdate()

Removed BeautifulSoup - no longer needed due to checkUpdate() changes

Miscellaneous: Updated comments for initialized GUI variables and signal connections

Morphing.Windows.v2.0.2.zip(49.44 KB)
v2.0.1(Aug 15, 2021)
Fixes

Resolved crash when the total point pair count was brought below three through Delete Mode

Corrected issue with Delete Mode that caused points to be improperly deleted (eventually cascaded into crashes)

Fixed bug with image loading that caused PIM to crash when only one point pair was previously saved

Removed unnecessary print statement on startup

Morphing.Windows.v2.0.1.zip(48.88 KB)
v2.0.0(Jul 28, 2021)
As no issues have been reported with 2.0.0 Beta, it is now being released as Stable with a couple additions.

This update includes new dependencies - Please run the command "pip install -r requirements.txt" or equivalent after downloading.

Added

New Mouse Modes

In addition to point placement, the user can now switch to two other modes when clicking on images: Move Mode and Delete Mode

(E) - Move Mode allows the user to drag any previously confirmed point to a new location

(Q) - Delete Mode allows the user to delete any previously confirmed point

Special thanks to GitHub user jankaWIS for creating this feature request

Dynamic Image Loading

The user can now load images into the GUI from their OS by dragging and dropping them into the desired window

Input images are now dynamically resized to match the size of their windows in the GUI, greatly improving GUI responsiveness

Larger images (e.g. 1080p, 4K, etc.) are downscaled, smaller images are upscaled

The user's files themselves are unchanged - PIM instead manipulates copies that get cleaned up during termination

Zoom Panning

The user can now pan images while zoomed in by clicking and dragging with the middle-mouse button

Zoom Slider

QoL: The user can now manually set the strength of the zoom applied to GUI images (in realtime) for ease of use

Zoom strength is defaulted to 2x during initialization but can now range from 2x to 10x!

Automatic Versioning Checker

On startup, PIM now checks your currently installed version against the latest stable release hosted on GitHub

A prompt is provided to automatically navigate the user to the latest release, if not up to date

PIM does not support automatic update installation at this time

Triangle Widget Enhancements

In addition to the sliders, the user can now manually enter RGB values for the displayed triangles

The user can now choose between binary, decimal, or hexadecimal format when setting RGB values

More Macros

The following key combinations have been added to support the user's interactions with the GUI:

D = Toggle Display of Delaunay Triangles

E = Toggle Move Mode (for moving individual points)

Q = Toggle Delete Mode (for deleting individual points)

Ctrl + Mouse Wheel = Adjust Zoom Slider

Shift + Mouse Wheel = Adjust Point Slider

Alt + Mouse Wheel = Adjust Alpha Slider

Changes

PIM's GUI has received many needed internal changes. The following elements have been changed:

Redesign:

The GUI has been restructured from scratch to containerize separate blocks

As this allows for far more refined control over resizing behavior - which has historically been a very problematic piece of development for this project - EVERY documented resizing bug has been fixed with this change (more details in Fixes)

Miscellaneous:

Minimum size of the main window has changed from (788 x 690) to (844 x 763)

Optimization: MorphingApp.py no longer conditionally sets size rules for the image windows (as Qt handles resizing correctly now)

Complete rewrite of blendImages() to support proper QThreading during morphing, preventing GUI lockup

To accompany this change, all functions related to morphing are disabled during the process to prevent exploits

Implemented a proper progress bar for full blending - the notification bar is no longer used for this

Full blending now displays frames as they are rendered

PIM will still display the user's specified frame when finished morphing

Alpha is now assigned 50% instead of 0% when reset

PIM now prompts for confirmation when the Reset Points button is pressed

Added queue & warnings to MorphingApp.py's imports

Removed Matplotlib and itertools from Morphing.py's imports

As it was a dependency that is no longer in use, removed Matplotlib from requirements.txt as well

Added pynput, beautifulsoup, & opencv-python to requirements.txt

Added version.txt to facilitate automatic versioning checks.

Removed NumPy's version restriction in requirements.txt (as the fmod() issue in v1.19.4 has been resolved)

Simplified all remaining instances of legacy code where the last index of a list was being accessed

x[len(x)-1] → x[-1]

Removed an instance of self.repaint() inside MorphingApp.py's checkResize()

Removed multiple instances of self.refreshPaint() inside MorphingApp.py's keyPressEvent()

Updated README.md

And much, much more

Fixes

Every single documented resizing bug has been hit with this update's GUI changes, including but not limited to:

Fixed: Input images would expand (or rarely shrink) by 2 pixels when loaded or each time the GUI was resized (very common)

Fixed: The bottom half of the GUI would often vertically expand/collapse before the top half (very common)

Fixed: The left half of the GUI would often horizontally expand/collapse before the right half (uncommon)

Fixed: Zooming into input images would cause random, incorrect resizing behavior (common)

Fixed: When maximized, the GUI would resize incorrectly with conditionally varying severity (very common)

Fixed: Inconsistent resizing behavior before and after a morph had been executed (very common)

Fixed a long-standing bug where the GUI could temporarily become unresponsive while morphing

Additionally, fixed a bug where inputs to the GUI would be propagated during morphing

Example: This could lead to chain-morphing if the blend button was clicked more than once

Fixed a bug where PIM could treat certain incompatible images as standard .jpg, causing a crash during morphing

Fixed a bug where zooming in on the lower third of either input image would be visibly distorted

Prioritized GUI parameter assignment to come first in the loadImage functions - thereby resolving several bugs & crashes

Fixed an amusing bug where the Help tab could be edited by the user

Fixed a crash that could occur upon resetting the alpha slider after executing a full blend

Resolved a minor GUI issue where, when enabled, Green/Blue triangle color value text would remain grey until updated

Fixed a bug where the Add Corners button would sometimes not enable after clicking Resize Left Image or Resize Right Image

Corrected a notification bar bug when one image has been loaded and user tries to add point

Other general code cleanup

Known Bugs

While zoomed in, issue with highlighting points to be manually moved or deleted

After clicking Resize Left/Right, points on the GUI do not visibly scale correctly

Comment: This is a purely visual bug. For now, this issue can be circumvented by just reloading the affected image.

Unreleased

Key Macro: Tab / Shift + Tab = Switch Morphing Tab

Configuration Tab

Comment: In the future, this tab will be used to set/reload default parameters for PIM to use on initialization. Still planning out what I do and don't want to be included in this tab though, so it has been excluded from this release.

Known Bugs

The GUI can sometimes become unresponsive during morphing calculations (but eventually returns to normal)

QtCore.QCoreApplication.processEvents() is a potential workaround but currently produces buggy results

Added

Image Zoom - Because sometimes, it's hard to get that one point just right.

The user can now right click on either [or both] of the input images to toggle zoom for more accurate point placement

Removed

As of v0.3.0.1's hot pixel fix, PIM's image smoothing feature is deprecated and will now be removed

Removed Morphing.py's smoothBlend() method as well as the "smoothMode" parameter in getImageAtAlpha()

Removed Morphing.py's sub-module import for SciPy's median_filter

Removed all code related to smoothing in MorphingApp.py (a reduction of 77 SLOC)

Removed self.smoothingBox from MorphingGUI.ui and MorphingGUI.py

Changes

Improved morphing performance (a huge 90% speedup) by modifying Morphing.py's implementation of getPoints() as well as tweaking interpolatePoints() to utilize RectBivariateSpline's .ev() method instead of manually interpolating the image data

Huge thanks to GitHub user zhifeichen097 for his source code which can be found here - excellent work!

Optimized the conditional logic found in MorphingApp.py's displayTriangles()

Optimized point assignment in Morphing.py's loadTriangles() by utilizing np.loadtxt()

Optimized conditional logic and list pop statements in MorphingApp.py's keyPressEvent()

Changed the loop in MorphingApp.py's autoCorner() to be less C-like and more Pythonic

"i = 0; while i < 4: ... i++" → "for leftPoint, rightPoint in zip(tempLeft, tempRight): ..."

Moved autoCorner()'s invocation of refreshPaint() out of it's loop (i.e. the GUI is now updated once instead of up to four times)

Changed the notification message displayed when autoCorner() adds one point pair

Removed a conditional in MorphingApp.py's resizeLeft() and resizeRight() that was unnecessarily reassigning their image type variable

Converted the syntax of all instances where lists were being reset in MorphingApp.py

"self.blendList = []" → "self.blendList.clear()"

Fixes

Resolved an oversight where .jpeg images couldn't be loaded into the program

Comment: To clarify, while it can probably accept other types, PIM is specifically written to work with .jpg, .jpeg, and .png images.

Keyboard/mouse input logic has been rewritten to maintain previous behavior with Undo, Delete, OUT, etc.

Redo (CTRL+Y) Functionality

The user may now redo any point placement that was previously undone or deleted

Points are recovered in the order they were undone or deleted

The cache is cleared whenever a new point is placed by the user

Changes

Added logging that was previously missing from MorphingApp.py's Undo logic

QtCore.QCoreApplication.processEvents() is a potential workaround but currently produces buggy results

Added

Source Image Resizing

Since PIM requires the user's images to be the same size, it can now create and hotswap resized copies of the left/right images at the click of a button

For simplicity, one button resizes the left image to the right image's dimensions and the other button does the opposite

Both images must be loaded to enable this functionality

Additionally scales any added/confirmed/chosen points to the new image dimensions

Buttons will be set to bold whenever the user's images aren't the same size

Resized image files are stored under: ROOT_DIR/Images_Points/filename-[width]x[height].filetype

Resized text files are stored under: ROOT_DIR/Images_Points/filename-[width]x[height]-filetype.txt

Changes

The program now locks out usage of point placement as well as the Add Corners button when the user's images aren't the same size

Text files are now stored under: ROOT_DIR/Images_Points/filename-filetype.txt

Flag whether the full blend box was checked: self.blendBoxSetting

Flag whether the user has performed a morph in the current session: self.blendExecuted

Store triangle color slider values: self.redVal, self.blueVal, self.greenVal

Store an additional copy (!!!) of each image's chosen points: self.startingText, self.endingText

Morphed Image Saving

Normal blends can now be saved as their respective image types; full blends can now be saved as dynamic GIFs

Generated GIFs are subject to the user's preference for the amount of time (default: 100 ms) given to each frame

Changes

To accommodate this update, the following elements in MorphingGUI.ui and MorphingGUI.py have been changed:

Added a "Save Image(s)" button alongside a smaller frame time textbox

A fairly air-tight Qt mask is used to restrict letter and symbol input - format is "[0-9][0-9][0-9] ms"

The program handles other invalid inputs (000, no input)

Minimum size of the main window has changed from (878 x 797) to (878 x 850)

Morphed Image Smoothing

A toggleable median filter is now applied to every blend and full blend

This filter attempts to remove hot pixels in morphed images by utilizing neighboring pixel values instead

Very little to no impact on program performance

Changes

The GUI now displays the current image frame being generated when full blending is enabled

Removed two sub-module imports (Qt's QGraphicsScene & QGraphicsView) that were no longer in use

Declarations, re-assignments, loops, and return statements have been streamlined to be more efficient

Optimized MorphingApp.py's blendImages() function to no longer have to [repeatedly] deepcopy each array slice

Initialization of a Morpher object will now deepcopy the passed arguments to its left and right image variables

Python Image Morpher is a program that can take two images and blend them to whatever extent or precision that you like! So far, it has only been tested on separate Windows environments; later releases are likely to support Mac and Linux.

Installation:

This program has dependencies that do not come packaged with Python 3.8. For each module below that your machine does not have installed, enter the respective command using the terminal supplied by Windows or your choice of IDE (such as PyCharm).

PyQt5 - pip install pyqt5 SciPy - pip install scipy NumPy - pip install numpy Matplotlib - pip install matplotlib

If pip, for whatever reason, is not installed on your machine, enter the following line in a terminal:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py

Then navigate to the folder where get-pip.py was downloaded and enter the following line in a terminal:

python get-pip.py

Usage:

Run MorphingApp.py either through the terminal or using an IDE

Use the graphical interface to select your two images to morph

Click on points of interest in your images to create correspondences

When satisfied, click on blend and observe the result!
