A bilevel texture model is proposed, based on a local transform of a Gaussian random field. The core of this method relies on the optimal transport of a continuous Gaussian distribution towards the discrete exemplar patch distribution. The synthesis then simply consists in a fast post-processing of a Gaussian texture sample, boiling down to an improved nearest-neighbor patch matching, while offering theoretical guarantees on statistical compliancy.
