Abstract
Methods and systems for image texture enhancement are disclosed. In some aspects, texture information for a plurality of object types is stored in a database. Objects are recognized in an image, and the type of each recognized object is identified. The database is consulted to determine textures for each of the recognized objects, based on the type of each object. A portion of a new image representing the recognized object is then updated based on its determined texture. Multiple objects having multiple different textures may be updated in this manner within a single image. This may result in improved image textures over known methods, especially when low light exposures may result in reduced image resolution and degraded textures.
