At this I'm also interested in a special class of these. Those that are purely monochrome (foreground/background) and sparsely arranged (like those found in animation keyframes). I am particularly interested to know if any one has done any work on spline-encoding. Here, I use this term to mean converting a bitmap format into a series of splines representing component curves of the overall image. The end use of such data would be real-time in-betweening of keyframes. If the in-betweening is not possible, I would still like to know how to compress a reasonable number of image frames into a small amount of memory. --- Kevin Picott, or in real life: UUCP: [uunet!]watmath!watcgl!kppicott *-NET: kppicott@watcgl.waterloo.{edu, ca, cdn} POST: Home School 516 Scarlett Crescent 350 Columbia Avenue, Unit 76 Burlington, Ontario Waterloo, Ontario L7L 5M2 N2J 4B6 (416) 637-1721 (519)
