The tutorial example from my website uses this feature. I think
there is some mentioning in the script-file but no serious
documentation. We had a thread on this list some months ago.

The morphing algorithm triangulates the panoramic image.
Each control point becomes the corner of a triangle. The
triangle mesh is then distorted according to the 'C'-lines.
This guarantees that the control points match exactly. This feature
can be used in hopeless cases, eg parallax errors or
weird distortions.

I should add that _all_ transformations (remapping + 
whatever correction is specified + morphing) are performed 
in a single step requiring just one sampling of the 
original source image.

The PTMorpher application of the PanoTools package
provides access to the morphing functions without
any of the panoramic stuff.
