Abstract:
1. In a computer system, a method for performing texture cloning for images, comprising: obtaining a first set of filtered image data by applying at least one arbitrary-radius image filter to a first set of image data, wherein said applying said at least one arbitrary-radius image filter comprises removing one or more aspects of image texture; obtaining a second set of filtered image data by applying said at least one arbitrary-radius image filter to a second set of image data; obtaining a texture information data by combining said first set of image data with said first set of filtered image data; and, obtaining a destination image by combining said texture information data with said a second set of filtered image data; wherein said combining said first set of image data with said first set of filtered image data further comprises computing a deviation value between an upper limit value and lower limit value; wherein the upper limit value is set above a maximum value for an element of said first set of image data and the lower limit value is set below a minimum value for the element of said first set of image data; and wherein combining said texture information data with said second set of filtered image data involves applying a ratio of the deviation to said upper limit value and lower limit value to the filtered image data.
