Abstract
Exemplar-based texture synthesis is defined as the process of 
generating, from an input texture sample, new texture images that are 
perceptually equivalent to the input. Efros and Freeman's method is a 
non-parametric patch-based method which computes an output texture image 
by quilting together patches taken from the input sample. The main 
innovation of their work relies in the stitching technique which 
significantly reduces the transition effect between patches. In this 
paper, we propose a detailed analysis and implementation of their work. 
We provide a complete mathematical description of the linear programing 
problem used for the quilting step as well as implementation details. 
Additionally we propose a partially parallel version of the quilting 
technique.
