ABSTRACT:
A method of transformation of any random sample of a surface texture pattern into a replicatable unit for computer graphics applications that can join together without borders to cover any desired surface area. The present invention is particularly well suited for obtaining texture patterns from high resolution photographs of actual surfaces to be used in a "texture library" of realistic replicatable fill patterns. In the preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method for identifying and isolating discontinuities in a texture pattern. The invention facilitates the smoothing of the isolated border discontinuities to produce a transformed, borderless texture sample.
