Texture synthesis

Texture synthesis is the process of algorithmically constructing a large from a small digital sample image by taking advantage of its structural content. It is an object of research in computer graphics and is used in many fields, amongst others , 3D computer graphics and post-production of films. Texture synthesis can be used to fill in holes in images (as in inpainting), create large non-repetitive background images and expand small pictures. Procedural textures are a related technique which may synthesise textures from scratch with no source material. By contrast, texture synthesis refers to techniques where some source image is being matched or extended. "Texture" is an ambiguous word and in the context of texture synthesis may have one of the following meanings: In common speech, the word "texture" is used as a synonym for "surface structure". Texture has been described by five different properties in the psychology of perception: coarseness, contrast, directionality, line-likeness and roughness . In 3D computer graphics, a texture is a digital image applied to the surface of a three-dimensional model by texture mapping to give the model a more realistic appearance. Often, the image is a photograph of a "real" texture, such as wood grain. In , every digital image composed of repeated elements is called a "texture." Texture can be arranged along a spectrum going from regular to stochastic, connected by a smooth transition: Regular textures. These textures look like somewhat regular patterns. An example of a structured texture is a stonewall or a floor tiled with paving stones. Stochastic textures. Texture images of stochastic textures look like noise: colour dots that are randomly scattered over the image, barely specified by the attributes minimum and maximum brightness and average colour. Many textures look like stochastic textures when viewed from a distance. An example of a stochastic texture is roughcast. Texture synthesis algorithms are intended to create an output image that meets the following requirements: The output should have the size given by the user.

Compact representations for static and dynamic texture synthesis

In nature, textures can be found everywhere. Texture, together with color and shape, represents the fundamental characteristics of objects. Texture conveys an idea of repetition of a certain structure
