Face Morphing (Server Side Script) - See Client Side Here.
The face morphing algorithm morphs between faces using a common set of feature points, placed by hand on each face. To morph between two faces, you need to warp both faces to a common shape so they can be blended together.
This is Flask based API Server, manages the two API Endpoints namely: POST /api/upload and GET /api/morph/<images>. The former accepts and a POST request to save an Image to the servers local storage (No Database Connected Yet!). The latter responds to the GET request appended with a unique image name under , which basically creates a MORPH of the two images and returns the morphed GIF. On the client repo, ReactJS has been used, however any Frontend framework can be used as per your choice (Angular, Vue etc.).
