Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel interactive texture designscheme based on the tile optimization and image composition. Givena small example texture, the design process starts with applying anoptimized sample patches selection operation to the example textureto obtain a set of sample patches. Then a set ofω-tiles are constructed from these patches. Localchanges to those tiles are further made by composing their localregions with the texture elements or objects interactively selectedfrom other textures or normal images. Such select-compose processis iterated many times until the desired ω-tiles areobtained. Finally the tiles are tiled together to form a largetexture. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposedtechnique can be used for designing a large variety of versatiletextures from a single small example texture, increasing ordecreasing the decreasing the density of texture elements, as wellas for synthesizing textures from multiple sources.
