    This document summarizes a research paper that introduces corner tiles as an alternative to Wang tiles for applications in computer graphics like texture synthesis. Corner tiles are square tiles with colored corners rather than colored edges, which allows them to directly constrain diagonal neighbors and avoid Wang tiles' "corner problem". The summary explains that corner tiles are easier to tile with, produce higher quality textures, reduce texture memory usage, and generate Poisson disk distributions with better spectral properties compared to Wang tiles. Corner tiles result in cleaner and more efficient applications according to the research paper.

    An Alternative for Wang Tiles: Colored Edges versus Colored Corners

    Abstract
    In this article we revisit the concept of Wang tiles and introduce corner tiles, square tiles with colored corners. During past years, Wang tiles
    have become a valuable tool in computer graphics. Important applications of Wang tiles include texture synthesis, tile-based texture mapping,
    and generating Poisson disk distributions. Through their colored edges, Wang tiles enforce continuity with their direct neighbors. However,
    Wang tiles do not directly constrain their diagonal neighbors. This leads to continuity problems near tile corners, a problem commonly
    known as the corner problem. Corner tiles, on the other hand, do impose restrictions on their diagonal neighbors, and thus are not subject to
    the corner problem. In this article we show that previous applications of Wang tiles can also be done using corner tiles, but that corner tiles
    have distinct advantages for each of these applications. Compared to Wang tiles, corner tiles are easier to tile, textures synthesized with
    corner tiles contain more samples from the original texture, corner tiles reduce the required texture memory by a factor of two for tile-based
    texture mapping, and Poisson disk distributions generated with corner tiles have better spectral properties. Corner tiles result in cleaner,
    simpler, and more efficient applications.
