  • On Demand Solid Texture Synthesis Using Deep 3D Networks
    On Demand Solid Texture Synthesis Using Deep 3D Networks J. Gutierrez1 J. Rabin2 B. Galerne3 T. Hurtut1 1Polytechnique Montréal, Canada 2Normandie Univ. UniCaen, ENSICAEN, CNRS, GREYC, France 3Institut Denis Poisson, Université d’Orléans, Université de Tours, CNRS, France Abstract This paper describes a novel approach for on demand volumetric texture synthesis based on a deep learning framework that allows for the generation of high quality 3D data at interactive rates. Based on a few example images of textures, a generative network is trained to synthesize coherent portions of solid textures of arbitrary sizes that reproduce the visual characteristics of the examples along some directions. To cope with memory limitations and computation complexity that are inherent to both high resolution and 3D processing on the GPU, only 2D textures referred to as “slices” are generated during the training stage. These synthetic textures are compared to exemplar images via a perceptual loss function based on a pre-trained deep network. The proposed network is very light (less than 100k parameters), therefore it only requires sustainable training (i.e. few hours) and is capable of very fast generation (around a second for 2563 voxels) on a single GPU. Integrated with a spatially seeded PRNG the proposed generator network directly returns an RGB value given a set of 3D coordinates. The synthesized volumes have good visual results that are at least equivalent to the state-of-the-art patch based approaches. They are naturally seamlessly tileable and can be fully generated in parallel. Keywords : Solid texture; On demand texture synthesis; Generative networks; Deep learning; 1.

  • Gramgan: Deep 3D Texture Synthesis from 2D Exemplars
    GramGAN: Deep 3D Texture Synthesis From 2D Exemplars Tiziano Portenier Siavash Bigdeli Orcun Goksel ETH Zurich CSEM ETH Zurich Switzerland Switzerland Switzerland Abstract We present a novel texture synthesis framework, enabling the generation of infinite, high-quality 3D textures given a 2D exemplar image. Inspired by recent advances in natural texture synthesis, we train deep neural models to generate textures by non-linearly combining learned noise frequencies. To achieve a highly realistic output conditioned on an exemplar patch, we propose a novel loss function that combines ideas from both style transfer and generative adversarial networks. In particular, we train the synthesis network to match the Gram matrices of deep features from a discriminator network. In addition, we propose two architectural concepts and an extrapolation strategy that significantly improve generalization performance. In particular, we inject both model input and condition into hidden network layers by learning to scale and bias hidden activations. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations on a diverse set of exemplars motivate our design decisions and show that our system performs superior to previous state of the art. Finally, we conduct a user study that confirms the benefits of our framework. 1 Introduction Texture synthesis is an important field of research with a multitude of applications in both computer vision and graphics. While vision applications mainly focus on texture analysis and understanding, in computer graphics textures are most important in the field of image manipulation and photo- realistic rendering. In this context, applications require synthesis techniques that can generate highly realistic textures. Due to the problem being highly complex, today’s applications largely rely on techniques that generate textures based on real photos, which is a time-consuming process that requires expert knowledge.

  • Deep Geometric Texture Synthesis
    Deep Geometric Texture Synthesis AMIR HERTZ∗, Tel Aviv University RANA HANOCKA∗, Tel Aviv University RAJA GIRYES, Tel Aviv University DANIEL COHEN-OR, Tel Aviv University Recently, deep generative adversarial networks for image generation have advanced rapidly; yet, only a small amount of research has focused on gener- ative models for irregular structures, particularly meshes. Nonetheless, mesh generation and synthesis remains a fundamental topic in computer graphics. In this work, we propose a novel framework for synthesizing geometric textures. It learns geometric texture statistics from local neighborhoods (i.e., local triangular patches) of a single reference 3D model. It learns deep features on the faces of the input triangulation, which is used to subdivide and generate offsets across multiple scales, without parameterization of the reference or target mesh. Our network displaces mesh vertices in any direction (i.e., in the normal and tangential direction), enabling synthesis of geometric textures, which cannot be expressed by a simple 2D displace- ment map. Learning and synthesizing on local geometric patches enables a genus-oblivious framework, facilitating texture transfer between shapes of different genus.

It is object of research to computer graphics and is used in many fields, 3D computer graphics and post-production of films. It can be used to fill in holes in images, create large non-repetitive background images and expand small pictures. It is important for rendering synthetic images and animations. 1. Introduction Texture synthesis is one of the hottest topics in the field of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision and Image Processing. The goal of texture synthesis is as follows: We are provide with a texture sample, we synthesized a new texture that, when seen by a human observer, appears to be generated by the same underlying process. Nowadays neighborhood-based methods are popularly used in texture synthesis, including point-based techniques [1] and patch-based techniques [2]. Hybrid texture synthesis method has also already been developed. These methods attempt to synthesize larger textures by copying selected regions (pixels or patches) of the sample texture and, in some way, obscuring region boundaries. Most of the methods can produce high quality results, but the speeds are very slow. They cannot avoid the heavy searching process in order to get a suited pixel or patch for the output image.
