Doctoral Student Presentation:
Example-Based Texture Synthesis
Zakia Tamimi
Example-based texture synthesis, in its simplest form, is to extend 2D
texture image in space to create a larger image or patch with the same
texture. Almost everyone had some texture synthesis experience when
they created a web page with background image, although trivial since
simple tile-based replication rarely produces plausible results. In
this presentation we introduce the problem of texture synthesis in 2D
and present some of the basic algorithms used for this purpose. We
then turn to the more exciting extensions of this problem such as:
texturing surfaces for 3D objects, temporal extending of texture to
create animation, and combining both texture synthesis and fluid
dynamics to create fluids texturing.
