Texture synthesis has been well studied in recent years. It has become an active research topic of computer graphics

vision

and image processing. Aiming at the current progress of texture synthesis

this work we set forth the algorithms based on synthesis sampling

character matching

constrained synthesis and multi objects synthesis. Further more

we analyze typical algorithms’ advantage and the disadvantage on the point of synthesis quality and efficiency. At last

we discuss the orientation of texture synthesis and emphasize that the constrained synthesis techniques would speed up the study development and become the key point of synthesis application.
