Image Morphing belongs to image processing defined as the animated transformation of one image into another, deliberately creates special effects, an essential in many multimedia systems and medical imaging field applications. In this paper, a digital image morphing technique is proposed with four phases. The initial phase of the stated algorithm takes source and destination image as an input from the specified location or through the webcam. The second phase deals with finding pixels by grid view of images for tracking the features such as eyes, mouth, nose, lips, ears and face. The third phase deals with mapping pixels from source image to destination image and then generate intermediate image with color interpolation and image transition. The forth most important phase of the process is generation of the final morphed resultant image in the number of certain required phases. This whole process, commonly known as morphing, is realized by combination of image warping with color interpolation or cross-dissolving. The results show that the proposed approach is simple and takes less time to generate the morph.
