Abstract

Patch-based techniques are proven to generate promising results and outperform many of the existing state-of-art techniques for most of the applications in digital image processing. In this work we develop a patch based coherent texture synthesis technique. A patch-based anisotropic diffusion techniques combined with a novel high-frequency generating technique that can enhance line/brush strokes is also proposed. Though these techniques can be applied to many different image processing applications, here we have limited ourselves in the application to interactive digital mural painting recovery/restoration. Some empirical and practical evidence for its high quality texture synthesis and restoration for mural paintings are also presented. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
