Abstract

Generating a morphing sequence for an aerial show may include: receiving, at a computing device comprising a processor, first frame data defining a first location for each of a plurality of drones in a first image of the aerial show; receiving, at the computing device, second frame data defining a second location for each of the plurality of drones in a second image of the aerial show; and generating the morphing sequence, the morphing sequence defining a flightpath for each of the plurality of drones to transition from the first location associated with the first image to the second location associated with the second image.
