Texture-Transfer

How to find the similar patch?

First of all, I sum up all the pixel difference in gray scale in a particular patch rectangle between texture and image.
Second, find the patch rectangle which has the smallest difference, and that’s the most similar part.

difference = |image.pixel(x,y) - texture.pixel(x,y)|

Here is some option setting

main.exe –i infile –o outfile –t texture_file –p patch_size -r overlap

• -i input file name
• -o output file name
• -t texture file name
• -p patch size (ex.32)
• -r overlap (ex.4)

Example

Here is the input file, texture_transfer.jpg

It is the texture file, texture_rice.jpg

And it is the output it would look like

• Patch size : 16
• Overlap : 4
