Texture synthesis
open-in-new
<p>Texture synthesis is the process of <a href="/facts/Algorithm/fnl5NmRt">algorithmically</a> constructing a large <a href="/facts/Digital_image/3TNT47Mv">digital image</a> from a small digital sample image by taking advantage of its structural content. It is an object of research in <a href="/facts/Computer_graphics/lapBE8wv">computer graphics</a> and is used in many fields, amongst others <a href="/facts/Digital_image_editing/l5LvzVBa">digital image editing</a>, <a href="/facts/3D_computer_graphics/zlWW6eaF">3D computer graphics</a> and <a href="/facts/Film/wM3b9Kk3">post-production of films</a>. </p><p>Texture synthesis can be used to fill in holes in images (as in <a href="/facts/Inpainting/5fHD96N8">inpainting</a>), create large non-repetitive background images and expand small pictures. </p>
