Figure 1: One can take 1) New Guinea 3264 × 4928 landscape photo, learn 2) a manifold of 2D texture embeddings for this photo, visualize 3) texture map for the image and perform 4) texture detection for a patch using distances between learned embeddings.
AbstractWe propose a novel multi-texture synthesis model based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) with a usercontrollable mechanism. The user control ability allows to explicitly specify the texture which should be generated by the model. This property follows from using an encoder part which learns a latent representation for each texture from the dataset. To ensure a dataset coverage, we use an adversarial loss function that penalizes for incorrect reproductions of a given texture. In experiments, we show that our model can learn descriptive texture manifolds for large datasets and from raw data such as a collection of high-resolution photos. Moreover, we apply our method to produce 3D textures and show that it outperforms existing baselines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
