A Hybrid Based Texture Synthesis Approach

Abstract

We present a texture synthesis approach that works well for a wide variety of textures without any knowledge of their physical information processes, especially well-suited for natural textures. Our approach starts from extending a sample texture and then pastes patches into the output texture, forming an inverted U-shaped for initialization. Finally, we generate synthetic texture of arbitrary size. Also, we accelerate the synthesizing process using the Approximate Nearest Neighbor technique. As the experimental results shown, so the proposed approach is effective and efficient.
