In this work, we demonstrate the promise and perils of texture analysis and texture synthesis applied to near-regular patterns. We propose a novel view of texture as statistical departures from regular patterns. We shall show that a true understanding of near-regular texture structures based on their translation symmetries can enhance existing methods of texture synthesis. Our texture synthesis...

This paper describes a new framework for image composition according to the blurring effect bred by changing depth of field from the target images. The framework involves two stages: a learning phase, in which the target image, with one part of the image purported to be “further” and another part “near”, is presented as “learning data” and the learned filter is applied to some objects in source...

We present a synthesis technique that can automatically generate stroke patterns based on a user-specified reference pattern. Our method is an extension of texture synthesis techniques to vector-based patterns. Such an extension requires (a) an analysis of the pattern properties to extract meaningful pattern elements (defined as clusters of strokes) and (b) a synthesis algorithm based on simila...

-Many textures require complex models to describe their intricate structures. Their modeling can be simplified if they are considered composites of simpler subtextures. After an initial, unsupervised segmentation of the composite texture into the subtextures, it can be described at two levels. One is a label map texture, which captures the layout of the different subtextures. The other consists...

Recent years have witnessed significant progress in example-based texture synthesis algorithms. Given an example texture, these methods produce a larger texture that is tailored to the user’s needs. In this state-of-the-art report, we aim to achieve three goals: (1) provide a tutorial that is easy to follow for readers who are not already familiar with the subject, (2) make a comprehensive surv...

λ((u,s);x)=  f (x) f (x\(u,s)) if (u,s) is one of the elements of x, f (x∪(u,s)) f (x) otherwise. (A) Evaluating this conditional intensity λ efficiently is thus a critical requirement. One should stress that the ratios f (x\(u,s)) f (x) and f (x∪(u,s)) f (x) are of course not computed directly but after simplification of the many common terms that are on both sides of the fractions. More exp...

Many objects have patterns that vary in appearance at different surface locations. We say that these are differences in materials, and we present a material-space approach for interactively designing such textures. At the heart of our approach is a new method to pre-calculate and use a 3D texture tile that is periodic in the spatial dimensions (s, t) and that also has a material axis along whic...

Reconstruction of archaeological finds from fragments, is a tedious task requiring many hours of work from the archaeologists and restoration personnel. In this paper we present a framework for the full reconstruction of the original objects using texture and surface design information on the sherd. The texture of a band outside the border of pieces is predicted by inpainting and texture synthe...
