Parallel Iso/Aniso-scale Surface Texturing Guided in Gabor Space

This paper presents a parallel texture synthesis over arbitrary surfaces, generating consistent and spatially-varying visual appearances. A novel scaling field is represented to measure the geometry-aware appearance or geometric deformation, therefore the generated textures locally agree with the geometric structure and maintain the coherence during shape deformation.

A Fast Spatial Patch Blending Algorithm for Artefact Reduction in Pattern-based Image Inpainting

We propose a fast and generic spatial patch blending technique that can be embedded within any kind of pattern-based inpainting algorithm. This extends the works of [Daisy et al. 2013] on the visual enhancement of inpainting results.

Computer Analysis for Visual Art Style

The trained basis functions reflecting the style characteristics of visual art works are obtained through the Sparse Coding. Gabor energy is extracted from the trained basis functions. Van Gogh and Monet's art works are analyzed through normalized mutual information computing using Gabor energy to find the diversity of style.
