  2. Introduction • Realistic image synthesis • Virtual reality, video games, special effects, etc. • Aging (or weathering) • Many effects • Many objects • Time consuming

  3. Introduction Redesign iterations

  4. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion

  5. Objectives • To build a system • To edit aging effects on textures • To increase realism • To reduce the amount of work • Adapted for artists • adequate control • interactive • no complex parameters

  6. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion

  7. Previous Work Aging methods • Physically based methods [Dorsey and Hanharan 2000; Merillou et al. 2001; O’Brien et al. 2002; etc.] • Highly realistic results but lengthy calculations • Non-intuitive physical parameters • Empirical methods [Chain et al. 2005; Gobron and Chiba 2001; Paquette et al. 2002; etc.] • More intuitive parameters • Both approaches • Do not provide the control required by artists • Target a single aging effect

  8. Previous Work Aging methods • Image based [Gu et al. 2006; Wang et al. 2006; etc.] • Capture the time-varying aspects of the material • Similar to our approach • Focus of our approach • Simple capture process • Adequate control

  9. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion

  10. Aging Editing Process Process overview • Source image • Image, photograph • Containing aging effects • Target aging mask • Binary image • Desired pattern • Reproduction image • New aging effects

  11. Aging Editing Process Phase description • Segmentation phase • Semi-automatic • Aged regions • Elimination phase • Automatic • Aging removed • Reproduction phase • Automatic • New aging effects Redesign iterations

  12. Aging Editing Process Images summary

  13. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion 14

  14. Segmentation Phase • Identifies aged regions • Could be done with • Segmentation tools • Image editing software • Stroke-based techniqueLischinski et al. [2006] • Worked efficiently for semi-automatic identification

  15. Segmentation Phase Stroke-base technique - Video

  16. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion 17

  17. Elimination Phase The algorithm • Constrained texture synthesis • Match the non-aged neighbourhood • Search using ANN library Arya et al. [1998] best match copy the pixel color … new best match Elimination image Source image

  18. Elimination Phase Hole-filling • The boundary pixels • Non-aged pixels in their neighbourhood • Must be filled first • The aged region is filled iteratively

  19. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion 20

  20. Reproduction Phase The new term • Extension of the elimination algorithm • Consider the aged / non-aged context

  21. Reproduction Phase Aging effects transfer and combination • Does not synthesize the entire image • Only specified regions • Iterative construction from multiple source images

  22. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion

  23. Results Source image Source aging mask Elimination image Reproduction image Target aging mask

  27. Results Efficiency 2 minutes every iteration 3 seconds every iteration 25 seconds - once 2.5 minutes - once • User interaction is minimal • Interactive computation time • Efficient for redesign iterations Obtained on a PC with 3.2 GHz CPU and 3GB of RAM

  28. Limitations • Apply only on surfaces • No fractures or deformations • Camera-based texture acquisition • Specular lighting • Surface distortion • Current implementation • Interactive on textures up to 512 x 512

  29. Outline • Objectives • Previous Work • Aging Editing Process • Segmentation Phase • Elimination Phase • Reproduction Phase • Results and Limitations • Conclusion

  30. Conclusion • A framework • To edit aging effects on textures • To reduce the amount of work needed during the redesign iterations • Benefits • Appropriate for artists • adequate control and interactivity • no complex parameters • Works well for several types of aging effects

  31. Conclusion Future work • Synthesize the target aging mask • For numerous regions • Ex: scratches • Handle layers in effects combination • Multiple effects over the same regions • Ex: dirt on top of rust • Faster synthesis • To handle higher resolution textures

  32. Questions ? • We would like to thank : And all our reviewers…

  33. Previous Work Texture synthesis • Texture synthesis [Efros 1999; Hertzmann 2001; Kwatra 2003; Lefebvre 2006; Liang 2001; etc.] • Synthesis based on neighbourhood matching • Our system • Extends from these algorithms • Specializes for the aging context

  34. Previous Work Texture synthesis • Image analogies, Hertzmaan et al. [2001] • The output image is completely synthesized • Our approach uses a similar algorithm that synthesize only regions of the output • Our approach should be considered as an extension

  35. Elimination Phase The replacement pixel • The replacement pixel is : • Selected from the non-aged pixels of the source image • One of the best neighbourhood matches • The system seeks a replacement pixel that minimizes the following L2 norm :

  36. Elimination Phase Interactivity • An exhaustive search would require processing time far from interactive • Thus, an approximation of the best match is found with the ANN library (Arya et al. [1998]) • Approximate nearest neighbour searching algorithm based on a kd-tree structure • Our feature vector is composed of the RGB components of the non-aged pixels around the pixel to replace
