Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We propose a new method for synthesizing an arbitrarily sized novel vector texture given a single raster exemplar. In an analysis phase, our method first segments the exemplar to extract primary textons, secondary textons, and a palette of background colors. Then, it clusters the primary textons into categories based on visual similarity, and computes a descriptor to capture each texton's neighborhood and inter-category relationships. In the synthesis phase, our method first constructs a gradient field with a set of control points containing colors from the background palette. Next, it places primary textons based on the descriptors, in order to replicate a similar texton context as in the exemplar. The method also places secondary textons to complement the background detail. We compare our method to previous work with a wide range of perceptual-based metrics, and show that we are able to synthesize textures directly in vector format with quality similar to methods based on raster image synthesis.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
