A Motion-Based Approach for Temporal Texture Synthesis

In this paper we propose a motion based approach for temporal texture synthesis. Temporal textures are natural phenomenon characterized by their distinctive motion patterns. Synthesis of these textures is thus considered as regeneration of motion pattern that has identical motion distribution of a source texture. In this paper we propose a synthesis technique where new textures are generated by computing their movement pattern from a known motion distribution followed by generation of image frames. Experimental results demonstrate the ability of the proposed technique by producing visually promising temporal textures.
