USAGE: meshwarp -f file [-i] [-p] infile outfile
USAGE: meshwarp [-h or -help]

-f ... file ....... textfile containing src and dst x,y control point pairs
................... and triangle vertex indices
-i ................ display information about number of src, dst and triangles
-p ................ display triangle progress

PURPOSE: To warp an image according to a triangular mesh.

DESCRIPTION: MESHWARP warps an image according to a user supplied triangular mesh. The mesh list src and dst x,y control points per line. Then a list of triangle vertex indices is listed one triangle per line. This script may be used to simply warp part or all of an image or to warp one image to match another.

ARGUMENTS:

-f file ... FILE is a text file containing first a pair of scr and dst x,y control points separated by a space. The following that is a list of 3 comma separate triangle vertex indices. Vertex indices start at 0 and reference the corresponding pair of src and dst x,y control points.

-i ... Enable the listing to the terminal of number of src, dst and triangles extracted from the file.

-p ... Enable the listing to the terminal of the triangle numbers as the triangles are processed.

Note: the script may be rather slow due to the processing of each triangle one-at-a-time.

CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and foolproof. Use At Your Own Risk.


EXAMPLE

Arguments:
-f meshwarp_data.txt

 

Input vs Output Animation

 

Input Image With Blue SRC Trianglulation

 

Input Image With Blue SRC And Red DST (and Purple Overlapping) Trianglulation

 

Output Image With Red DST Trianglulation


What the script does is as follows:

  • Create an initial transparent image the size of the input as a
    background image
  • Apply an affine warp of the input image for the bounding box
    about a given dst triangle
  • Extend with transparency the warped bounding box image data
    and translate to the proper offset
  • Repeat for next dst triangle

This is equivalent to the following IM commands.

  • convert -quiet -regard-warnings "$infile" -depth 8 $dir/tmpI.mpc
  • ww=`identify -ping -format "%w" $dir/tmpI.mpc`
  • hh=`identify -ping -format "%h" $dir/tmpI.mpc`
  • convert -size "${ww}x${hh}" xc:none $dir/tmpT.mpc
  • for ((i=0; i<numt; i++)); do
    getTriangle "${triArr[$i]}"
    convert $dir/tmpT.mpc \
    \( $dir/tmpI.mpc -define distort:viewport=${wd}x${ht}+${xmin}+${ymin} \
    -distort Affine "$s1x,$s1y $d1x,$d1y $s2x,$s2y $d2x,$d2y $s3x,$s3y $d3x,$d3y" \
    -background none -extent ${ww}x${hh} -roll +${xmin}+${ymin} \) \
    \( -size "${ww}x${hh}" xc:black +antialias -fill white -draw "polygon $d1 $d2 $d3" \) \
    -compose over -composite $dir/tmpT.mpc done
  • convert $dir/tmpT.mpc $outfile
