Image-effect method and apparatus using critical points

摘要

An image input unit (12) inputs a first image and a second image. A matching processor (14) performs the pixel matching between the first image and the second image, and a result thereof is recorded as a corresponding point file. An intermediate image generator (18) generates an intermediate image between the first image and the second image, based on the corresponding point file. A speed controller (100) controls the number of intermediate images to be generated, based on a user's instruction. <IMAGE>
