Quilting inspired by radiography

An application of functional programming: quilting

Quilting (including the patchwork that the typical quilter indulges in) is primarily a leisure activity, one which on the surface seems to have little to do with functional programming. However, both the patchwork and the social participation in group projects often yield interesting combinatorial problems. This paper looks at the suitability of functional programming for solving these types of...

Quilting for Texture Synthesis and Transfer

We present a simple image-based method of generating novel visual appearance in which a new image is synthesized by stitching together small patches of existing images. We call this process image quilting. First, we use quilting as new, fast, yet very simple texture synthesis algorithm which produces surprisingly good results for a wide range of textures. Second, we extend the algorithm to perf...

A Cuckoo Filter Modification Inspired by Bloom Filter

Probabilistic data structures are so popular in membership queries, network applications, and so on. Bloom Filter and Cuckoo Filter are two popular space efficient models that incorporate in set membership checking part of many important protocols. They are compact representation of data that use hash functions to randomize a set of items. Being able to store more elements while keeping a reaso...

Creating Large Isotropic Textures Using Image Quilting

Image quilting is a texture synthesis technique to create a large texture by wrapping around patches of a small texture in a way that the repetition of small texture is not noticeable. The basic algorithm is to randomly select small patches in a given texture. These patches are then positioned in a large texture to be synthesized and blended across boundaries to remove the appearance of boundar...
