This work studies the preattentive discrimination of achromatic textures composed of mixtures of different (Weber) contrasts. These textures differ not at all in local spatial structure, but only in the relative proportions of different contrasts they comprise. It is shown that, like chromatic discrimination, preattentive discrimination of such textures is three-dimensional. The current results...

Textures appear in most natural images, but there is no precise mathematical definition of a texture. However, there are various descriptions of textures available in the literature. These approaches can be broadly classified as structural or deterministic, and stochastic [5, 7, 12, 19, 29]. The structural approach is more suitable for describing textures that can be formed by repeating a unit ...

Textures have been used in various applications, such as carpet quality control, region recognition in satellite images, and body painting control in the vehicle industry. This paper studies texture synthesis. We survey the algorithms for synthesizing textures that have proposed over the past two decades. A variety of algorithms associated with synthesized textures are given. The goal is to fur...

Genetic programming is used to automatically synthesize procedural textures for 3D surfaces. The GP system evolves textures with similar colour and surface characteristics as training textures sampled on 3D models. The texture language includes mathematical operators, colour and noise functions, as well as surface information for the point being rendered, such as coordinates, normal, and gradie...
