An Hybrid model for structured natural textures is presented. The texture is considered to be composed of subpatterns, called primitives, which occur with a certain regularity. The description of the texture is complete when the various classes of primitives are described with their placement rules. Classes of primitives are described in two steps : firstly, the shape coded with Fourier descriptors and secondly, the microtexture modeled using a reduced set of joint probability distribution (obtained by vector quantization). This model is well adapted for the texture synthesis,
