TEXTURE SYNTHESIS "RESULTS"

Theory

A two dimensional wavelet transform is applied to a patch of a texture image. (The tensor product of higher order, "lifted" Haar wavelets were used.) A modified wavelet scheme, which has the property of tilability, is used to recreate the image. This new texture patch has the advantage of being tilable.

Results

It also, as you can see, has the disadvantage of two-dimensional wavelet shaped glitches, due to some inherent numeric instability in the algorithm.

Images with smaller scale structure (such as the stucco and yew) are reproduced better than images with larger scale structure (such as the panda fur).
