Abstract
In this paper, a novel concept of multilayer synthesis and a general framework for texture synthesis method are presented. Within this framework, we first decompose the texture into the supposed pattern layer and material layer in the frequency domain by an E-texton extracting algorithm, then manipulate and extend them respectively according to their own personalities, and finally merge the newly synthesized pattern layer and material layer again to generate the final output. Experiment results show that our method not only greatly improves the synthesis quality for those cases that single-layer synthesis cannot handle well but also provides an ability of achieving various special synthesis effects.
