The texton broadcasting module introduces an inductive bias, enabling generation of broader range of textures, from those with regular structures to completely stochastic ones. To train and evaluate the proposed approach, we construct a comprehensive high-resolution dataset that captures the diversity of natural textures as well as stochastic variations within each perceptually uniform texture. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach yields significantly better quality textures than the state of the art. The ultimate goal of this work is a comprehensive understanding of texture space.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.04221v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.04221v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"towards-universal-texture-synthesis-by","repo_url":"https://github.com/juelin/texturesynthesis-stylegan2-pytorch","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"diversity","task_name":"Diversity"},{"task_slug":"inductive-bias","task_name":"Inductive Bias"},{"task_slug":"texture-synthesis","task_name":"Texture Synthesis"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
