Abstract:
A nail printing apparatus is provided, which does not require a user to manipulate button operation to set user's finger or user's toe or start an image drawing operation. The apparatus provided with an image drawing unit for drawing an image on a nail of a finger or a nail of a toe and an elevation mechanism having a placing unit on which the finger or the toe is placed. The elevation mechanism moves the placing unit from a stand-by position up to an image drawing position. When the placing unit is at the stand-by position, the user can insert user's finger or user's toe into or remove user's finger or user's toe from the apparatus. When at the image drawing position, the image drawing unit can draw an image on the nail of the finger. An elevation controlling unit controls the operation of the elevation mechanism in response to an operation of the finger or the toe placed on the placing unit, pressing the same downward.
Abstract:
A nail information detection device includes: a placement surface on which a finger having a nail is placed; an imaging unit which images the nail from one direction and acquires a image data; a moving unit which moves the imaging unit while keeping a distance between a measurement plane which is in contact with a peak position of the nail and parallel to the placement surface and the imaging unit constant; and a control unit configured to detect nail information including a first edge position and a second edge position on a shape of the nail.The control unit aligns a reference point of an imaging range of the imaging unit at the peak position and detects a position on the measurement plane of the nail edge based on the image data as the first edge position; and aligns the reference point at the first edge position and detects a position on the measurement plane of the nail edge based on the image data as the second edge position.
Abstract:
A drawing apparatus, including: a drawing data generation unit which, as a fitting process, fits a design image to a drawing region of a drawing target, and generates drawing data of the design image fitted to the drawing region; and a drawing unit which performs drawing of the design element on the drawing region on the basis of the drawing data, wherein the drawing region is curved along a width direction of the drawing region, the design image includes at least one design element, and the drawing data generation unit performs fitting the design element to a region excluding at least one edge portion from the drawing region, the edge portion being set on one side in a width direction of the drawing region.
Abstract:
A method of determining a value of density of a heat absorbing agent to be applied to a target pixel on a medium, wherein the medium is distended, when heated, the value of density of the heat absorbing agent is a density value of the heat absorbing agent that is applied to the medium before heated, and density values of the heat absorbing agent are set for plural pixels on the medium, the method comprising, calculating a first average density value of first plural pixels in the vicinity of the target pixel among the plural pixels, calculating a second average density value of second plural pixels in the vicinity of the target pixel, and determining a density value of the heat absorbing agent based on the calculated first average density value and second average density value, when a density value applied to the target pixel satisfies a first prescribed condition.
Abstract:
A nail print apparatus, including: a nail placement unit on which a central area in a protruding portion of a nail of a finger or a nail of a toe is placed, the protruding portion of the nail is an area that protrudes from a distal portion of the finger or the toe and the central area includes a center of the protruding portion in a width direction of the nail; and a print head which performs printing on the nail that the central area is placed on the nail placement unit.
