Computer Aided DIY Design of Stylized Generation of Random Needle Embroidery

Abstract

Random stitch embroidery uses jagged and crossed lines to represent the painting and embroidery principles of an image. It requires the embroiderer to repeatedly scrutinize the embroidery techniques, operating steps, and predict the effects of embroidery. The embroidery has very personal artistic characteristics. In order to solve the problem of high difficulty in designing random stitch embroidery, long creation time, and difficulty in pre-viewing the effect, an interactive tool is proposed to assist users in DIY design of random stitch embroidery. By generating creation preview images and marked embroidery drafts, users can quickly embroider their own de-signs. Input the target image as a reference for random stitch embroidery, and divide the image into sub-regions based on the clustering algorithm for detailed drawing. Build a single stitch model and a multi-layer stitch model based on the texture characteristics of the object, and set the corresponding length, orientation, density, thickness and other parameters to the desired texture. Based on the image style, an interactive reconstruction using vector field rendering technology and lighting simulation technology are constructed for users to carry out DIY design and effect previews. Based on the CorelDraw platform, a DIY drawing system for random stitch embroidery and a draft generation system are developed, a human-computer interaction interface is designed, and case simulations are carried out. The experimental results show that proposed tool improves the efficiency and creativity of embroidery design. To generate a marked manuscript can also be provided to random needle embroidery beginners, to facilitate their rapid grasp of the random needle embroidery drawing methods and skills.
