In this paper, we propose a new patch-based texture synthesis method. The core of
the proposed method consists of two main components: (1) a feature-weighted similarity
measurement to search for the best match and (2) a dynamically prioritized-based pixel
re-synthesis to reduce discontinuity at the boundary of adjacent patches. Examples and
experimental comparisons with other previous methods are demonstrated to verify the
usefulness of our proposed method. In addition, we enhance the proposed method with a
view warping technique to better synthesize non-frontal-parallel textures (NFPTs) that
can not be synthesized well by traditional texture synthesis methods.
