📱 Perspective Animation

Example of perspective animation of a photo.

This is an implementation of how to detect a rectangle from a camera and animate a perspective.

Used frameworks

• AVFoundation for taking a photo.
• Vision for on the fly rectangle detection from the camera.
• CoreImage for filtering image.

Algorithm

1. Launch a camera and observe output for rectangles.
2. When a rectangle is detected, show it at the UI.
3. Take a picture and apply a perspective correction filter to get the resulting image.
4. Calculate the 4x4 transform matrix to animate from the initial image to the resulting image.

Implementation is simplified for clarity.
