Hey everyone! I’m trying to find a good image morphing library for C or C++. I came across something called libmorph, but I can’t find any documentation for it. I even checked Ubuntu, but there’s no libmorph-doc package.
Does anyone know where I can find docs for libmorph? Or maybe you can recommend a different library that’s well-documented?
I did find a GitHub repo called “libmorph” by someone named yacp, but I don’t think it’s the same thing. I’m kind of stuck here and would really appreciate any help or suggestions!
If libmorph is a dead end, what other image morphing libraries would you recommend for C/C++? I’m looking for something that’s easy to use and has good documentation. Thanks in advance for any advice!
I’ve actually worked with image morphing libraries quite a bit, and I can tell you that finding a good one can be tricky. In my experience, OpenCV is probably your best bet for C++. It’s got a ton of features beyond just morphing, but its morphing capabilities are solid and well-documented.
If you’re looking for something more specialized, you might want to check out GMIC (G’MIC). It’s primarily a command-line tool, but it has a C++ API that includes morphing functions. The documentation isn’t as extensive as OpenCV’s, but it’s still pretty good.
One thing to keep in mind is that image morphing can be computationally intensive. Whatever library you choose, make sure you test it thoroughly with large images to ensure it meets your performance needs. I learned that lesson the hard way on a project a few years back. Good luck with your search!
yo, i’ve used magick++ before and it’s pretty decent for image stuff. might work for morphing too. the docs are ok, but you gotta dig a bit. it’s part of imagemagick, so you get tons of other cool features. just be careful with memory usage, it can get hungry sometimes. give it a shot if you’re still lookin!
I’ve been in a similar situation, and I can relate to your frustration with libmorph’s lack of documentation. In my experience, OpenCV might be a better option for image morphing in C++. It’s widely used, well-documented, and has a robust set of image processing functions, including morphing capabilities.
If you’re set on using a dedicated morphing library, you might want to look into CGAL (Computational Geometry Algorithms Library). While it’s not exclusively for image morphing, it does offer some morphing functionalities and has extensive documentation.
Alternatively, you could consider implementing a basic morphing algorithm yourself using existing image processing libraries. This approach gives you more control and understanding of the process, though it requires more initial effort. Whatever route you choose, make sure to thoroughly test the library or code with your specific use case before fully committing to it.
