NASA have been using morphing techniques in a limited way since the
year dot! When they send their satellites up for remote sensing, those
equipped with cameras needed to have the camera images 'registered',
so that the images shown on screen were indeed as they appeared and
not geometrically distorted. Consequently, as the image came in from
the camera, it was transformed in a way similar to current morphing
techniques. The NASA people weren't interested in the in-between
frames that make morphing interesting. They just wanted the final
image.

So, in my opinion, the NASA image processing gurus (or whoever it
was that came up with the technique) should be credited with the
1st application of morphing.

Just my 2 pence.
