Abstract

In this paper, we present an intuitive and controllable patch-based technique for terrain synthesis. Our method is based on classical patch-based texture synthesis approaches. It generates a new terrain model by combining patches extracted from a given set of exemplars, providing a control performed by a low frequency guide, a categorization of exemplars, and a map for distributing these categories. Furthermore, we propose criteria to validate the input, some structures to accelerate the patch choice, and a metric based on the process, these structures, and some specificities of the data.
