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.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Islamic world has had great decorative traditions. The Islamic geometric patterns [1] were very widespread throughout different countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. The main goal of the proposed approach consists of detecting family of similar regions through the analysis of pictures constructed based on the method ‘Hasba’, which containing geometric shapes. (measure) is widely adopted by the Moroccan craftsmen (“Maâlam”) especially who’s working on wood material and handed over to their disciples. This new approach to extract similar regions in Islamic geometric patterns is based on the detection first of the outline [3] of geometric shapes. In a second step, calculating the Euclidean distance [4] between them, in order to help artisans to make a decision very quickly on the geometric pattern, does it respect the rules of the 'Hasba' method ? as for example the
