Abstract:
1. A method for processing video data, the method comprising: removing texture from at least some frames of a set of frames in a video sequence; analyzing the removed texture to obtain texture parameters; synthesizing new texture based on the obtained texture parameters and at least one of the following qualitative constraints: coefficient magnitude correlations, cross scale statistics, coefficient correlations, marginal statistics, dominant texture orientation, overall color, and color saturation related to whether an original texture associated with the set of frames is structured and busy or unstructured and smooth, wherein if the original texture is structured and busy, then synthesizing the new texture is based on the following constraints: marginal statistics, coefficient correlations, coefficient magnitude correlations, cross-scale statistics, overall color, and color saturation; and inserting the synthesized new texture into the set of frames to enable display of the set of frames.
