Hi Kumara,
As a workaround, use this code to get the ripple effect to an image.
imp = double(imread('image.jpeg'));% image file name should be given
n = size(imp,1);
m = size(imp,2);
p = [round(m*.5) round(n*.5)];
[x,y] = meshgrid(1:m,1:n);
x = x - p(1,1);
y = y - p(1,2);
d = (x .^2 + y .^2).^.6;
mask = cos(.05*d) .* exp(-.005*d);
im = (mask-min(mask(:)))./ ( max(mask(:))-min(mask(:)));
I = bsxfun(@times,im,imp);
imshow(I/255);
Here we are trying to calculate the distance (d) of all points from p (which is the center of the image), and then create a mask which is a function of the calculated distance. This mask is then applied on the image which then create the effect of fading waves.
If in case you are trying for a 3-D rippled surface to an image you can execute the below code snippet.
In the case of 3-D, this effect can be easily achieved by using the wrap command.
im = imread('image.jpeg'); % input image file name
n = -10 : .1 : 10;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(n,n);
d = (X .^ 2 + Y .^ 2) .^ .5; % d = (X .^ 2 + Y .^ 2) .^ .6;
Z = cos(1.5 * d) .* exp(-.1 .* d);
warp(X,Y,Z,im);
axis equal;
axis off;
Hope this Helps !
