Tile rewriting grammars and picture languages

TLDR
It is proved this model has greater generative capacity than the tiling systems of Giammarresi and Restivo and the grammars of Matz, another generalization of context-free string Grammars to 2D.

Unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages

TL;DR: It is proved that there are recognizable languages that are inherently ambiguous, that is UREC family is a proper subclass of REC family, and it is shown that it is undecidable whether a given tiling system is unambiguous.

Weighted picture automata and weighted logics

TL;DR: This work introduces weighted 2-dimensional online tessellation automata (W2OTA) extending the common automata-theoretic model for picture languages and proves that the class of picture series defined by sentences of the weighted logics coincides with the family ofPicture series that are computable by W2OTA.

Weighted Picture Automata and Weighted Logics

TL;DR: In this article, a notion of a weighted MSO logics over pictures is introduced and the semantics of a weighted MSO will be a picture series, and it is shown that for commutative semirings, the class of picture series defined by sentences of the weighted logics coincides with the family of picture-series that are computable by W2OTA.

A unifying approach to picture grammars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on a simple type of tiling, named regional, and define the corresponding regional tile grammars, which can be unified and extended using an approach, whereby the right part of a rule is formalized by means of a finite set of permitted tiles.

Recognizable picture languages

TL;DR: A new notion of recognizability for picture (two-dimensional) languages is proposed extending the characterization of one-dimensional recognizable languages in terms of local languages and alphabetic mappings and the undecidability of the emptiness problem is proved.

Some properties of two-dimensional on-line tessellation acceptors

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to propose a new type acceptor called the “two-dimensional on-line tessellation acceptor” (denoted by “2-ota”) and to examine several properties of the 2-ota, which might be considered as a real-time mode of rectangular array bounded cellular space.

Regular Expressions and Context-Free Grammars for Picture Languages

Oliver Matz
TL;DR: A new concept of regular expression and context-free grammar for picture languages (sets of matrices over a finite alphabet) is introduced and these two formalisms are compared and connected.

Bounded Parallelism in Array Grammars Used for Character Recognition

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to elaborate the power of cooperation in generating and analysing (handwritten) characters by array grammars by presenting various non-context-free sets of arrays generated by cooperating distributed array grammar systems with prescribed teams working in different modes.
