This paper proposes an efficient method for texture synthesis based on graph cut echnique and edge map.By the method, the synthesis is made by iteratively pasting the sample to the output with different displacements , and graph cut technique is used to find the optimal patch boundaries. To make the edge continuously better reserved, edge map is introduced to measure the structural similarity in the displacement search. In the preprocessing step , match errors for all relative displacements of two samples are calculated , and several displacements with the smallest match errors are selected to form the "optimal displacement set" . In the synthesis step , the relative displacements are fully chosen only from this set.
