To　avoid　noticeable　seams　between　texture　patches　and　minimize　the　distortion　of　the　pattern　when　tiling　a　texture　on　surfaces,　several　texture　synthesis　approaches　have　been　proposed　in　the　past　few　years,　among　which　patch-based　texture　synthesis　approaches　have　achieved　better　effect　and　higher　speed　compared　with　the　point-based　texture　synthesis　approaches.　However,　as　a　typical　patch-based　texture　synthesis　approach,　Efros　patch-based　texture　synthesis　approach　is　still　not　real-time.　With　the　help　of　＇texture　consistency＇,　this　paper　presents　a　novel　approach　for　texture　synthesis　to　match　patch　along　a　spiral　path.　The　algorithm　searches　for　new　matching　patch　among　the　neighborhoods　of　the　previous　matched　patch　along　a　spiral　path　and　continues　this　process　in　a　recursive　manner　until　the　synthesizing　image　is　fully　filled.　Compared　with　the　Efros　approach　under　the　same　condition　of　synthetic　quality,　the　approach　presented　in　this　paper　is　10　times　faster　on　average.　Experiments　show　that　synthesizing　results　are　quite　satisfactory.
