Mini-texture Tiling

Abstract

Any texture composed of dots or pixels can be reorganized by tiling with small texture patches, or mini-textures. Here we investigate mini-texture properties for constructing any type of texture, and mini-texture relationships of deterministic textures generated by recursive application of rules through gliders such as the so called Box, Cross Zigzag, Oblong, El Wye and Corners gliders, to reveal that the mini-texture tiling recovers isotrigon textures by appropriate selection of tiling. We also consider the concept of a mini-texture basis to implement the rule-dynamics mini-texture tiling for reconstructing the original texture.
