Abstract

Synthesized textures represent continuous-tone images with a small set of vectors and color profiles. This representation is not only efficient in terms of compression ratio but also serves as the basis of photorealistic animations in AFX. Unlike standard synthetic texture techniques, the synthesized texture imaging starts with analysis of photorealistic images or video sequences and conversion to their vector representation. This 3D representation is decoded at the player and rendered to reproduce the original image.
