The method includes the steps of generating a first Delaunay complex corresponding to the first shape and a second Delaunay complex corresponding to the second shape and generating a plurality of intermediary Delaunay complexes defined by a continuous family of mixed shapes corresponding to a mixing of the first shape and the second shape. The method further includes the steps of constructing a first skin corresponding to the first Delaunay complex and a second skin corresponding to the second Delaunay complex and constructing a plurality of intermediary skins corresponding to the plurality of intermediary Delaunay complexes. The first skin, second skin and plurality of intermediary skins may be visually displayed on an output device."}],"extern":"1","ipc":"G06T13/20 ; G06T2210/44","date_updated":"2022-01-05T15:16:35Z","day":"15","author":[{"first_name":"Herbert","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","last_name":"Edelsbrunner","orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Ping","full_name":"Fu, Ping","last_name":"Fu"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","title":"Apparatus and method for geometric morphing","publication_date":"1998-12-15","date_published":"1998-12-15T00:00:00Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:03:41Z","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","oa":1}
