[x3d-public] Wang tile - Wikipedia

[Roy Walmsley]

Hi,

Yes, there have been a number of papers at major graphics conferences on
this topic. One at Siggraph 2003 was "Wang tiles for image and texture
generation" (https://doi.org/10.1145/882262.882265).

All the best,

Roy

Wang tile
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_tile

> Wang tiles (or Wang dominoes), first proposed by mathematician, logician,
and philosopher Hao Wang in 1961, are a class of formal systems. They are
modelled visually by square tiles with a color on each side. A set of such
tiles is selected (for example the set in the picture). Then copies of the
tiles are arranged side by side with matching colors, but without rotating
or reflecting the tiles.

This is an interesting technique that can be applied to synthetic texture
generation.  It was mentioned during this week's ISO SC24 meeting in
Arlington VA by a French company http://www.octal-se.fr applying it as part
of procedural terrain generation for synthetic environments.

all the best, Don
