System and method for synthesis of parametric texture map textures

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to method for assigning coefficients to a texel of a parametric texture map (PTM) texture. The method may comprise the steps of: generating a random PTM matrix of a desired size, the random PTM matrix comprising texels possessing random valued coefficients; selecting a texel from the random PTM matrix; determining a first neighborhood of the texel from the random PTM matrix; comparing the first neighborhood to neighborhoods of a sample PTM texture to determine an optimal texel of the sample PTM texture; and assigning PTM coefficients of the optimal texel to the texel from the random PTM matrix.
