Texture Mixer: A Network for Controllable Synthesis and Interpolation of Texture
This paper addresses the problem of interpolating visual textures. We
formulate this problem by requiring (1) by-example controllability and (2)
realistic and smooth interpolation among an arbitrary number of texture
samples. To solve it we propose a neural network trained simultaneously on a
reconstruction task and a generation task, which can project texture examples
onto a latent space where they can be linearly interpolated and projected back
onto the image domain, thus ensuring both intuitive control and realistic
results. We show our method outperforms a number of baselines according to a
comprehensive suite of metrics as well as a user study. We further show several
applications based on our technique, which include texture brush, texture
dissolve, and animal hybridization.Comment: Accepted to CVPR'1
