A system is described for using a texture synthesis approach to produce digital images that simulate motion. The system operates by receiving a large-scale motion image that describes large-scale motion, as well as one or more exemplar images that describes small-scale motion. The system then applies a texture synthesis approach to duplicate the small-scale motion described in the exemplar image(s), as guided by the large-scale motion described in the large-scale motion image. This operation produces a synthesized motion image. The system then combines the synthesized motion image with the large-scale motion image to produce a combined motion image. The combined motion image presents the large-scale motion as modulated by the small-scale motion. The system can also take account for one or more application-specific constraints, such as incompressibility and boundary conditions.
