MOTIVATION: Assist in the creation of in-betweens from a set of keyframe poses (image, drawing, etc). Suggest correspondences, derive mappings and let users control the interpolation process. INSPIRATION: Alexa et al. as-rigid-as-possible interpolation. Sykora et al. various techniques for 2D animation. Richard William’s book “The Animator Survival Kit”.
