Patch-based texture synthesis creates a new texture by copying and stitching together textures at various offsets, similar to the use of the clone tool to manually synthesize a texture.

SIGGRAPH 2003 are the best known patch-based texture synthesis algorithms.

These algorithms tend to be more effective and faster than pixel-based texture synthesis methods.
