autoimagemorphjs / aimjs : Automatic image morphing

Version 0.2.0

This is a Node.js command line application (for now).

This is a work in progress. Expect major refactoring, where the core functions will be split to a platform-independent JavaScript file (to target the browser) and a separate Node.js PNG I/O and command line parsing program.

autoimagemorphjs is a new implementation of the automatic image morphing process, based on lessons learned from https://github.com/jankovicsandras/autoimagemorph/ . It produces similar results, but the calculation is much more simple, much faster and the program has no dependencies (apart from the current Node.js PNG I/O, which will be separated).

Dependencies

https://github.com/lukeapage/pngjs currently, used for PNG I/O. Expect that this will be split to allow other Node.js image I/O libraries and to support the browser, where image I/O is built-in.

I recommend downloading to the same folder or editing Line 4 in aimjs.js : PNG = require("./pngjs-master/lib/png").PNG;

Usage

node aimjs -i vg0.png vg30.png -o f

This generates f*.pngs with defaults.

node aimjs -i vg0.png vg30.png vg60.png vg0.png -o f_ -f 15 -w 3 -h 3

This generates 3 x 15 f_*.pngs with 3 x 3 grid.

node aimjs

Prints help.

Options

  • -i : REQUIRED flag to begin input filename list
  • -o : REQUIRED flag to specify output filename prefix
  • -f : framerate, optional integer, default = 30
  • -w : feature grid width, optional integer, default = 6
  • -h : feature grid height, optional integer, default = 6
  • -sp : subpixel processing, optional float, default = Math.SQRT2
  • -pngopts : optional object, see https://github.com/lukeapage/pngjs

Warning

Be careful when using the required -o output filename prefix parameter. The program overwrites <output_filename_prefix><sequencenumber>.png files without warning. f0.png , f1.png, ... will be overwritten in the example above.

Recommended postprocessing

Install FFmpeg: https://ffmpeg.org/

ffmpeg -framerate 30 -i f%d.png f.gif

TODO:

  • browser support, split out https://github.com/lukeapage/pngjs to allow other Node.js image I/O libraries
  • built-in bilinear, cubic, etc. sampling? Currently it's only subpixel nearest-neighbor.
  • built-in animgif, video export?
