However, t he process of editing textures often involves laborious and repetitive man ual adjustments of textons, which are the recurring local patterns that ch aracterize textures. This work introduces a fully unsupervised approach fo r representing textures using a compositional neural model that captures i ndividual textons. We\nrepresent each texton as a 2D Gaussian function who se spatial support approximates\nits shape, and an associated feature that encodes its detailed appearance. By modeling a texture as a discrete comp osition of Gaussian textons, the representation offers both expressiveness and ease of editing. Textures can be edited by modifying the compositiona l Gaussians within the latent space, and new textures can be efficiently s ynthesized by feeding the modified Gaussians through a generator network i n a feed-forward manner. This approach enables a wide range of application s, including transferring appearance from an image texture to another imag e, diversifying textures, texture interpolation, revealing/modifying textu re variations, edit propagation, texture animation, and direct texton mani pulation. The proposed\napproach contributes to advancing texture analysis , modeling, and editing techniques, and opens up new possibilities for cre ating visually appealing images with controllable textures.\n\nRegistratio n Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Minhyuk Sung (Korea Advanced Institute of Scie nce and Technology (KAIST)) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_166&sess=sess122 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
