Automatic correspondence between two frames for 2D animation

Abstract

During the animation process, a senior artist would create key frames of movement while the junior artist would do the in-betweening of the frames. In order to do in-betweening, the artist must first find the corresponding strokes between the two frames. The aim of this project is to find a way to automate this process of matching corresponding strokes between the two frames. This report serves to document the project work that has been done and the knowledge acquired during the 12 months period. During this period, the student as acquired knowledge of the B-spline curve. A GUI was created to facilitate the creation and matching of B-spline curves. Matching was done using B-spline curves and the results were promising. The next step would be to find better priority settings to make the matching process more accurate.
