Publication: PyAFBF: a Python library for sampling image textures from the anisotropic fractional Brownian field.

The Python library PyAFBF is devoted to the simulation of anisotropic textures of image.
These textures are sampled from a mathematical model called the anisotropic fractional
Brownian field (AFBF) (Bonami & Estrade, 2003); see Figure 1 for an illustration. The library
offers several features. Users can generate a wide variety of textures by setting the simulated
model manually or randomly either manually or randomly. It also includes tools to compute
model features (regularity, anisotropy,…) which may serve as attributes to describe generated
textures. The library further offers the possibility to sample heterogeneous textures from
random field models related to the AFBF.
