Abstract
Texture synthesis device and method, based on digital video signals. The synthesis device comprises a circuit (16) for computing and memorizing the structural characteristics, based on a sample referred to as reference sample, a circuit (17) for restituting an approximate synthesis picture by means of growth in a predetermined region, based on its characteristics and on the sample with a subdivision of said picture in blocks of an identical size, a circuit (18) for constituting a dictionary, based on the blocks of the sample of the same size as those of said picture and a circuit (19) for decorating said approximate synthesis picture, based on output signals of said circuit for constituting the dictionary. The invention also relates to a method of and a device for transmitting and/or storing texture signals, including the implementation of this method and this synthesis device.
