Texture synthesis via a noncausal nonparametric multiscale Markov random field.

Our noncausal, nonparametric, multiscale, Markov random field (MRF) model is capable of synthesizing and capturing the characteristics of a wide variety of textures, from the highly structured to the stochastic. We use a multiscale synthesis algorithm incorporating local annealing to obtain larger realizations of texture visually indistinguishable from the training texture.
