Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for automatically generating embroidery designs from a scanned image. An embroidery data generating mechanism generates accurate embroidery designs. The embroidery data generating mechanism first reads an image data file, which contains bitmapping information generated from a software scanning tool, the information being related to an embroidery pattern that has been scanned. The scanned pattern is broken up into pixels, each pixel in the scanned image having a bitmap associated with the color of the pattern. Each unique color in the scanned pattern has its own unique bitmap. The embroidery generating mechanism also includes a segmentation mechanism and a chain-encoding mechanism which perform operations to enhance the quality of the bitmapped information and to separate regions of the scanned image into objects. A distance transform evaluation mechanism classifies each object as being either a thick object or a thin, predominantly regular object. Additional mechanisms further interpret the objects into entities such as regular and singular regions and compute optimum sewing paths for embroidery data generation.

Abstract: A method for generating embroidery data based on an image including a plurality of pixels. A plurality of line segment data is generated for pixel groups, each pixel group including at least one pixel based therein. Each of the line segment data defines a line segment by an angle component in which the line segment extends, a length component indicating a length of the line segment and a color component indicating a color of the line segment. The embroidery data is generated based on the plurality of line segment data, so as to give embroidery stitches along the line segments.
