Abstract
In this paper we propose syntactical models to represent repetitive regular structures in graphical documents. We refer to these structures as texture symbols and they usually contain hatched or tiled patterns. Our grammar-based models can be automatically inferred from the document and used as signatures to describe salient features consisting of regular repetitions of primitives. These signatures compactly describe texture symbols and its primitives can be used for indexing purposes. We describe different models suitable for a number of patterns. Particularly, a linear grammar to describe hatched patterns and a plex grammar and a graph grammar for different types of tiled patterns. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
