Computer Generated Celtic Design

چکیده
We present a technique for automating the construction of Celtic knotwork and decorations similar to those in illuminated manuscripts such as the Lindisfarne Gospels. Our method eliminates restrictions imposed by previous methods which limited the class of knots that could be produced correctly by introducing new methods for smoothing and orienting threads. Additionally, we present techniques for interweaving and attaching images to the knotwork and techniques to encapsulate knot patterns to simplify the design process. Finally we show how to use such knotwork in 3D and demonstrate a variety of applications including artwork and transforming the designs into 3D models for fabrication.

Picking Knots from Trees - The Syntactic Structure of Celtic Knotwork
Interlacing knotwork forms a signiicant part of celtic art. From the perspective of computer science, it is a visual language following mathematically precise rules of construction. In this paper, we study the syntactic generation of celtic knots using collage grammars. Several syntactic regulation mechanisms are employed in order to ensure that only consistent designs are generated.
متن کاملCeltic Knots Colorization based on Color Harmony Principles
This paper proposes two simple and powerful algorithms to automatically paint Celtic knots with aesthetic colors. The shape of the knot is generated from its dual graph as presented in [KC03]. The first technique uses rules derived from two-colors harmony studies in a Color Order System to select harmonious color pairs. We show that it can efficiently reproduce color combinations utilized in an...
متن کاملTidal energy conversion in a global hot spot: On the 3-D dynamics of baroclinic tides at the Celtic Sea shelf break
Globally, the Celtic Sea shelf break is ranked highest as an energetic ‘‘hot spot’’ of tidal energy conversion, therefore making it the most significant contributor to global internal tidal energy flux. In this paper, the three-dimensional dynamics of baroclinic tides in the shelf-slope area of the Celtic Sea was investigated numerically and using observational data collected on the 376th cruis...

متن کاملA Celtic Framework for Knots and Links
We describe a variant of a method used by modern graphic artists to design what are traditionally called Celtic knots, which are part of a larger family of designs called “mirror curves”. It is easily proved that every such design specifies an alternating projection of a link. We use medial graphs and graph minors to prove, conversely, that every alternating projection of a link is topologicall...
