An Improved Example-Based Texture Synthesis Algorithm

Texture synthesis is a modern technology which grows rapidly in recent ten years. An improved example based texture synthesis algorithm is proposed. The basic idea is from the famous texture synthesis algorithm of WL00[4]. Two improvements are done in this paper. The first one is to automatically determine the neighborhood size during the neighborhood match process, the second one is that each time three pixels other than one are synthesized to accelerate the synthesis procedure. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and efficient.
