Part III: dynamic texture synthesis

Abstract

While we have treated image texture synthesis until now, several dynamic phenomena can also be treated as texture. Ocean waves, waterfall, smoke from a chimney, fire burning in a fireplace, grass fields waving in the wind, etc. are all examples of dynamic textures. These dynamic phenomena exhibit locality and stationarity properties similar to those exhibited by static textures. Additionally, they also evolve in their appearance over time, governed by underlying physical processes such as motion, diffusion, turbulence, and other micro-scale phenomena.
