This paper presents a methodology for tile image reconstruction. This methodology is integrated in a computer tool providing automatic image analysis. Both, the reconstruction and analysis methodologies are based on the application of the scientific theory of symmetry groups and are part of an integrated management system for pattern design in the tile industries. As image analysis advances, information is obtained concerning design structure that will allow us to restitute (recover missing motifs), unify (choose between different motifs that should be equal) and standardize (adjust motifs exactly to their symmetry axes and rotation centers). This methodology for tile image reconstruction has been tried with different islamic mosaics from the Alhambra (Granada, Spain). Results based on these are given in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
