Low dimensional search for efficient texture synthesis

Current texture synthesis algorithms rely upon high dimensional approximate nearest neighbour (ANN) searches to determine the best pixel to use at the current position. The feature vectors used in the ANN search are typically between 100 and 300 dimensions. A large amount of research has examined ho...
