title: An algebraic approach to the generation and description of binary pictures.
abstract: An algebra is proposed for compactly generating and describing binary pictures such as textures and graphics. Four arithmetic operations, differentiation, and integration of such pictures are defined using pictorial constants and rational polynomials. Examples for these operations are illustrated.
