Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method for estimating optical properties from a photograph and creating 2D cloud textures. Our method enables the user to change the shading of the generated clouds textures. There are some methods that can extract an image of foreground objects from a photograph and composite it into a different photograph. However, when applying those methods to clouds, unnatural images are often created, especially when the sun directions are different. We address this problem by estimating an attenuation coefficient and an albedo coefficient. Our method allows the user to change the sunlight direction as well as the attenuation ratio and density of clouds. This makes it easy to reflect user's intention in cloud texture.
