Solid Texture Synthesis using Position Histogram Matching.pptVIP

A simple but effective algorithm for high quality solid texture synthesis Enables most of the pixels in the exemplars to appear equiprobably in the result volume with the position and index histogram matching Efficiently preserves not only color histogram but also the various texture structures in the results Outperforms or at least is comparable to the previous solid texture synthesis approaches in terms of the synthesis quality. * The anonymous reviewers Jun-Hai Yong, Fang Yang and Guidu Chen for help on writing * * ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum ThuCS2010PhDForum 1 Texturing is a core process for modeling surface details in computer graphics applications Texture mapping Surface texture synthesis Procedural texturing Solid texture synthesis * color = f(x, y, z) Exemplar Solid texture Wei [2002] adapted 2D neighborhood matching synthesis schemes to 3D volumes Jagnow et al. [2004] proposed a solid texture synthesis method based on stereology techniques Kopf et al. [2007] extended 2D texture optimization technique to synthesize solid textures. Dong et al. [2008] generated solid textures on GPU by limiting the synthesis domain to a subset of the voxels around the object surface * Color blurry Introducing aberrant voxel colors Bad texture structures Some distinct texture structures are even missing! * Aims at generating high quality solid textures from 2D exemplars Adopt the texture optimization framework [Kwatra et al. 2005] with the k-coherence search [Tong et al. 2002] and the discrete solver [Han et al. 2006] The optimization approach is integrated with the position and index histogram matching Preserves not only color histogram but also the texture structures, reaching high quality results * Similar to Kopf et al. [2007], the goal is to minimize a global texture energy function, defined as: * From Ko
