Abstract
Methods and systems are described for generating additional levels of detail when zooming in on an image. A viewer may desire to zoom in on an image to see a portion of the image in greater detail. This portion of the image may be analyzed to determine if zoom enhancement is necessary. If it is determined that zoom enhancement is necessary, the zoomed region may be matched to a replacement texture. The replacement texture may be used to enhance the image by replacing some or all of the image data.
