Texture Interpolation as Texton Matching
Texture interpolation asks what should lie between two textures.
ProofPaper ↗
Key points
- We study whether this hidden pairing choice is itself a major determinant of interpolation quality.
- We represent textures as collections of local appearance vectors, or textons, and replace positional pairing with appearance-aware matching while keeping the encoder, representation, and decoder fixed.
- Across texture pairs, appearance-aware matching consistently improves the distributional quality of interpolated midpoints over positional feature blending.
- These results identify correspondence as a first-class design choice in texture interpolation: meaningful transitions depend not only on how strongly two textures are mixed, but also on which local appearances are mixed with one another.
