TexSynthe

Detecting an optimized patch size for image quilting.

Texture synthesis generates textures of a desired size from a given texture example. The result should be sufficiently different from the sample, yet be perceived by humans as the same texture. The most effective method for this is currently the patch-based approach.

This work investigated an optimized patch size related to a specific texture example. The optimal patch size is estimated by measuring the level of detail of the texture, based on the stationary assumption of the underlying stochastic process, with stationarity measured across different resolutions. The algorithm is presented in the report.
