The observed distribution of natural images is far from uniform. On the contrary, real images have complex and important structure that can be exploited for image processing, reco...
This paper describes a new method for analysis/synthesis of textures using a non-parametric multi-resolution approach able to reproduce efficiently the generative stochastic proce...

Patterns on real-world objects are often due to variations in geometry across the surface. Height fields and other common parametric methods cannot synthesize many forms of geomet...
We present a corner-detection algorithm based on a model for end-stopping cells in the visual cortex. Shortcomings of this model are overcome by a combination over several scales. ...
Texture mapping has become indispensable in image synthesis as an inexpensive source of rich visual detail. Less obvious, but just as useful, is its ability to mask image errors d...
