Abstract

Mesh quilting for geometric texture synthesis involves synthesizing a geometric texture by quilting a mesh texture swatch. In an example embodiment, geometry is matched between a mesh texture swatch and a portion of a synthesized geometric texture. Correspondences are ascertained between elements of the mesh texture swatch and the portion of the synthesized geometric texture. The ascertained corresponding elements of the mesh texture swatch and the portion of the synthesized geometric texture are aligned via local deformation to create a new patch. The new patch is merged into an output texture space to grow the synthesized geometric texture.
