Patch-based texture synthesis using differential evolution

This paper presents a novel algorithm for patch-based texture synthesis. This method surpasses the conventional texture synthesis method with evolutionary algorithm. Patch-based texture synthesis is to enlarge the texture image by quilting the small patches together in a raster scan manner by applying some preliminary processes. In the initial population generation at the time of fetching patches from the original texture image, there is the 8-pixel difference between each adjacent patch to dilate the search space. The process Patch-based Texture Synthesis using DE (PTSDE) can search the adaptive patches from the available population in a candidate single generation. PTSDE gives efficient result in texture synthesis in comparison to other used methods.
