Digital Textures

Figures - are synthetic textures; adaptations of digital images. Some have been used as benchmarks in image processing papers (, ). In fact, Mao and Brown obtained some of the textures (Figures , , , , , and ) directly from Heeger, who teaches an image processing class at Stanford (http://www.stanford.edu/class/psych267/). Mao and Brown's final project for that class () used all of Heeger's textures, as well as Figures and , which were generated by Brown. Figures and are ``mask'' functions, used to solve interpolation problems with missing data. A detailed theoretical discussion of missing data problems and the use of masks in general is (), while a direct use of these masks is ().
