Abstract

The present invention provides a method, apparatus, storage medium and device for controlled synthesis of inhomogeneous textures, which relates to the field of texture synthesis technique in image processing. The method includes: obtaining an input texture exemplar from user, and analyzing the features of the exemplar, so as to extract the source guidance channels; herein the guidance channels comprise a progression map and an orientation field of the texture exemplar; obtaining a progression map and an orientation field from the user specified target, which are used as the target guidance channels; comparing the differences between the source guidance channels and the target guidance channels, so as to form the progression constraint and orientation constraint; determining the distance measure between the texture exemplar and target image, and adding the progression constraint and orientation constraint into the distance measure; the target image produced by minimizing the sum of distances over all patches with the constrained distance measure, is the final output of controlled synthesis.
