Uniform texture synthesis and texture mapping using global parameterization

Mesh Parameterization for Texture Mapping

In 3D graphical rendering, it is common to want to produce a rendered image of an object that’s as realistic as possible, subject to the limits of memory and computing power available. A commonly used technique that helps to achieve this realism is texture mapping. The parameterization, which is the subject of this project, defines how points in the texture relate to points on the object’s surf...

Conformal Surface Parameterization for Texture Mapping

In this paper, we give an explicit method for mapping any simply connected surface onto the sphere in a manner which preserves angles. This technique relies on certain conformal mappings from differential geometry. Our method provides a new way to automatically assign texture coordinates to complex undulating surfaces. We demonstrate a finite element method that can be used to apply our mapping...

Texture Mixing and Texture Movie Synthesis Using Statistical Learning

We present an algorithm based on statistical learning for synthesizing static and time-varying textures matching the appearance of an input texture. Our algorithm is general and automatic, and it works well on various types of textures including 1D sound textures, 2D texture images and 3D texture movies. The same method is also used to generate 2D texture mixtures that simultaneously capture th...

Texture Synthesis using Soft-Computing

The TEXRET-System, a texture retrieval system based on soft-computing technologies is being developed. One of the main system features is synthesis of the requested textures when these are not found in the database, which allows a growing of the database. Missing textures are synthesized interactively using Markov Random Fields and interactive genetic algorithms. This article is centered on the...
