A C++ project implementing the Image Quilting algorithm based on Efros and Freeman's method for seamless texture synthesis. It generates larger, continuous textures by stitching overlapping patches from a source image. Using Minimum Error Boundary Cut and MSE Patch Selection, it minimizes visible seams and achieves high-quality texture results.

# Image Quilting

This project was an exam submission for the *Tool- und Plugin-Programmierung* module, and I received a grade of **1.0**.

This project implements advanced **image quilting techniques** to generate large, visually coherent textures from small input patches. The method minimizes visible seams and repetitive patterns using algorithms such as **Minimum Error Boundary Cut** and **Mean Squared Error (MSE)**-based block selection.

## Features

- Seamless integration of texture patches from input images.

- Optimization of texture coherence using overlap regions and minimal cuts.

- Flexible parameters for block size, overlap, and tolerance, enabling diverse texture outputs.

- Applications in **computer graphics**, **game design**, and **digital art**.

## Project Structure

- **`include/`**: Header files defining core interfaces (e.g., `TextureQuilter.h`, `SeamCarving.h`, `ErrorMetrics.h`).

- **`src/`**: Implementation of core algorithms (e.g., quilting logic, seam carving, and error metrics).

- **`gallery/`**: Input and output images demonstrating the quilting process.

- **`CMakeLists.txt`**: Build configuration file.

## Technologies

- **C++** 

- **CMake** For build automation.

- **Image Processing:** Implementation of Efros and Freeman’s Image Quilting Algorithm.

## Documentation

For detailed project documentation, please refer to the `Ausarbeitung` folder.

## Usage

Compile the project using CMake and run the executable with specified parameters:

```bash

./ImageQuilting_main --input  \

                     --output  \

                     --width  \

                     --height  \

                     --tileW  \

                     --tileH  \

                     --seamW  \

                     --seamH  \

                     --mseSelect true \

                     --minCut true \

                     --tolerance 0.1
