Research On Sample-Based Texture Synthesis

Texture Synthesis is one of the hotspots in computer graphics, computer vision and image processing. This article mentions some research on sample-based texture synthesis and introduces some improvement to some classic algorithms in this research area; it also deals with some experiments in multi-sample based constrained texture synthesis.Firstly this article introduces the content and goals in texture synthesis, and then it introduces some basic concepts in this research area. Following this it introduces current research situation in sample-based texture synthesis via some classic algorithms. After above introduction, this article extends to multi-sample based texture synthesis and controllable texture synthesis via some classic papers. Accordingly, as our efforts, we raise a new sample-based texture synthesis algorithm based on image quilting, we bring in texture characteristic and transformed sampling space by which we get some comparably good results with previous classic algorithms. Based on these experiments, we try some further research in multi-sample based and constrained texture synthesis which the synthesis process is both multi-samples based and controllable. We acquired some interesting results in target-ratio per sample and spatial distribution controllable texture synthesis. The synthesis output contains both multi-samples' features and the user's intuitive control.Our research can be used in computer animation, large scale scene rendering, pattern design, special effects in movie and video, virtual reality and so on.
