Previously some people have wondered if you might be able to morph between Navcam OpNav frames to make a more seamless movie.

I was doubtfull - but I had a go using Morph Age on OSX all the same

Morph Movie (2.5mb)

I'm still doubtfull smile.gif

I wonder if it would work better with the navcam frames projected in ground-relative frame of reference (as with some of my recent movies, which I've had to take down because of bandwidth issues).

Doug,

I found it very good, not jerky, kind of elastic, but overall better than clanking from one nav to another.

If it can be made better..fantastic...

bravo

Glad to know that...It is a sign that you will do even better! smile.gif

I liked it. None of that jerkiness, very smooth transitions.

I got a very "3D" feeling for the surface during the warping transitions. I think there is potential there.

I think Mike might be on to something with using his cunning pointing-corrected images. I may try that at some point.

Hmm... Your morphing movie gives me an idea for something sort of similar I might try using MMB - not morphing as such, but smoothly panning between frames. Give me a few days, I might have something. Might be cool, or might just cause sea-sickness, who knows.
