Neural evaluation of texture synthesis results

Abstract

This paper introduces a new idea of using the Self-Organizing Map to compare the similarity between the synthesized textures and the original sample in accordance with human visual system. The approaches of texture synthesis do not provide convincing results for all types of textures, since it is difficult to produce a general definition of this term. So that, we propose to evaluate the quality of results provided by different approaches, based on features of comparison to capture information present in texture image.
