Abstract
Techniques are described for a multiple-phase process that uses machine learning (ML) models to produce a texturized version of an input image. During a first phase, using a pix2pix-based ML model, an automatically-generated image that depicts structured texture is generated based on an input image that visually identifies a plurality of image areas for the structured texture. During a second phase, a neural style transfer-based ML model is used to apply the style of a style image (e.g., a target image from the training dataset of the pix2pix-based ML model) to the texture image generated at the first phase (the content image) to produce a modified texture image. According to an embodiment, during a third phase, the generated texture image produced at the first phase and the modified texture image produced at the second phase are combined to produce a structured texture image with a moderated amount of detail.
