Abstract
A multi-dimensional texture synthesis apparatus includes a generator to generate a reference multi-dimensional texture including a codebook and a reference index image, the codebook including a set of color information of the same-position pixels of the reference texture images, and the reference index image including a set of indexes for addressing the codebook, a quantizater to quantize the reference multi-dimensional texture at one or more quantization levels to generate a quantized codebook and a quantized reference index image, a synthesizer to synthesize a new index image having a specified size from the quantized reference index image using a hierarchical structure of the reference multi-dimensional texture corresponding to the one or more quantization levels, and a generator to generate the new multi-dimensional texture by combining the new index image with the quantized codebook.
