Picture Languages: From Wang Tiles to 2D Grammars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to collect definitions and results on the main classes of 2D languages introduced with the attempt of generalizing regular and context-free string languages and in same time preserving some of their nice properties. Almost all the models here described are based on tiles. So we also summarize some results on Wang tiles and its applications.

Tile rewriting grammars and picture languages
Tile Rewriting Grammars (TRG) are a new model for defining picture languages. A rewriting rule changes a homogeneous rectangular subpicture into a isometric one tiled with specified tiles. Derivation and language generation with TRG rules are similar to contextfree grammars. A normal form and some closure properties are presented. We prove this model has greater generative capacity than the Til...
متن کاملA unifying approach to picture grammars
Several old and recent classes of picture grammars, that variously extend context-free string grammars in two dimensions, are based on rules that rewrite arrays of pixels. Such grammars can be unified and extended using a tiling based approach, whereby the right part of a rule is formalized by means of a finite set of permitted tiles. We focus on a simple type of tiling, named regional, and def...
متن کاملRegional Languages and Tiling: A Unifying Approach to Picture Grammars
Several classical models of picture grammars based on array rewriting rules can be unified and extended by a tiling based approach. The right part of a rewriting rule is formalized by a finite set of permitted tiles. We focus on a simple type of tiling, named regional, and define the corresponding regional tile grammars. They include both Siromoney’s (or Matz’s) Kolam grammars, and their genera...
متن کاملComparison results of 2D Monogenic Pure Context Free Picture Grammars with other relating models
Picture languages generated by array grammars or accepted by array automata have been studied by researchers and various models have been proposed in the literature, motivated by problems arising in the framework of syntactic methods of pattern recognition and image processing. The notion of Pure 2D Picture Grammars, generating rectangular picture arrays of symbols is already there in the liter...
متن کاملLocal and recognizable hexagonal picture languages
In this paper we introduce hexagonal Wang tiles, local hexagonal picture languages, and recognizable hexagonal picture languages. We use hexagonal Wang tiles to introduce hexagonal Wang systems(HWS), a formalism to recognize hexagonal picture languages. It is noticed that the family of hexagonal picture languages defined by hexagonal Wang systems coincides with the family of hexagonal picture l...
