New approach for the detection of family of geometric shapes in the islamic geometric patterns

Abstract

This article proposes a new approach to detect the family of geometric shapes in Islamic geometric patterns. This type of geometric pattern which is constructed by tracing the grids with the respect of precise measurement criteria and the concept of symmetry of a method which is called 'Hasba'. This geometric pattern generally found in the tiles which cover the floors or walls of many buildings around the Islamic world such as mosques. this article describe a new method which is based on the calculation of the Euclidean distance between the different geometric shapes which constitute the geometric Islamic pattern, in order to detect similar regions in this type of geometric pattern encountered in Islamic art.
