You still would probably want to use morphing software.  The
difference is that instead of interpolating between the meshes of two
images, you have to find the average between all the meshes, and then
morph to that point.  GtkMorph can do a lot of that, but it would
probably take some modification to get it to do all of that.

[Gimp-developer] "Average Face" / Photo blending for large number of pics

2005-09-14 Thread bbdavidf-gimp
Greetings :)

I would like to be able to take a group of "head
shots" (photo of just the face of a person) from
different peopleand then "stack" or "blend" them
so that one "average face" results.

To be clear...there may be hundreds of individual face
shots that we want to "stack" or "blend" (not sure
what the right term is)...and the end result would be
one facethat would then be the "average" of all
the faces in the "stack". 

This is different than standard "morphing" in which
the final outcome is simply the last image in the
stack. Again, we want the "average face" effecta
true "blend" of all of the individual stacked images
as our outcome.

How can we achieve this?

I understand it may be a challenge. I'm OK with that.
For now, please help me understand
the process by which the outcome can be achieved.

CHEERS!
