A video texture synthesis method based on wavelet transform

Video texture can be seen as a new type of media between an image and a normal video. It can provide a continuous, infinitely varying stream of video images. This paper presents a wavelet-based synthesis algorithm that can synthesize new video textures. New frames are constructed based on wavelet coefficients derived from the decomposition of a set of pixel values of neighboring frames. Accordingly, new video textures are obtained by appending synthesized frames. We apply pixel-based and block-based algorithms in this paper. The proposed algorithm requires small computation complexity while being able to produce reasonable results.
