Texture synthesis aims to define and reproduce discriminating image features. These features are used to associate with and differentiate between two textures. Often texture is composed of a pattern with an element of randomness in each feature’s appearance, position and orientation. The goal is to imitate the sample texture in such a way that sample and synthesised texture are perceived to be ...

Measured material representations like Bidirectional Texture Functions or Reflectance Fields offer very realistic appearance but the user is currently not capable of changing this appearance in an effective and intuitive way. Such editing operations would require a low-dimensional but expressive model for appearance that exposes only a small set of intuitively editable parameters (1D-sliders, 2...

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...
