A Novel Decorative Islamic Star Pattern Generation Algorithm
Azam Bastanfard, Hadi Mansourifar · 2010
This paper presents a novel algorithm to generate Islamic star patterns. Applications of proposed algorithm are widespread. They include creation of aesthetic ornament, architecture, interior design, textile design, tilling, entertainment and web design. This paper explores a novel algorithm to generalize the Islamic pattern based on a novel parametric method. The proposed method generates different kinds of patterns as a powerful abstract modeling algorithm for ornament design. In the first step, we draw the primitive part; then the primitive will be rotated. After rotation, the main particle will be generated; then the generated pattern will be tilled. Validation of our approach is given in terms of experimental results. An investigation of the relationships between the generated image and corresponding rules is also discussed.
