Abstract

Techniques for controlling patch-usage in image synthesis are described. In implementations, a curve is fitted to a set of sorted matching errors that correspond to potential source-to-target patch assignments between a source image and a target image. Then, an error budget is determined using the curve. In an example, the error budget is usable to identify feasible patch assignments from the potential source-to-target patch assignments. Using the error budget along with uniform patch-usage enforcement, source patches from the source image are assigned to target patches in the target image. Then, at least one of the assigned source patches is assigned to an additional target patch based on the error budget. Subsequently, an image is synthesized based on the source patches assigned to the target patches.
