Research on the Method for Computer-aided Pattern Design of Uygur's Headwear Based on OpenCV

Abstract

Xinjiang Uygur's flower hat is famous all over the world, it leads the world of headwear of various nationalities within China by the variety of styles, the various ways of how to embroider pattern design, and exquisite manufacture. It is unusual even in national costumes art of the world. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Uygur's headwear, study the rules of Uygur's headwear pattern, analyze the characteristic of the basic pattern, research on the key technologies based on OpenCV for computer-aided pattern design of Uygur's headwear, explore the application of computer-aided design in traditional costume's pattern design, and to realize application exploration of computer-aided design in designing of costume and dress adornment.

UYGUR'S FLOWER HAT AND RULES OF PATTERN The variety of Xinjiang Uygur's flower hat's [1] has most closely related to history, economy, religion, culture, arts and crafts, custom, and phylogeny of national amalgamation. Xinjiang is an important transportation hub on the historic Silk Road, so after the Han Dynasty, Xinjiang becomes post of all kinds of economy and culture gathering. This comes into being the especial effect on the development of economy, culture, and art in Xinjiang. The ancient western regions is the galaxy place of three great world religions, the bridge of Chinese and foreign cultural interaction, and it makes ancient civilization of Xinjiang has a species peculiar to this area and is differ from others. Uygurs has several migration in history and many reasons, Uygurs assimilates with other nationalities. Because of different of ethnic group, language, culture and custom, every nationality's culture and art leave print for Uygur's culture, it makes Uygur's culture and art become a mixture of different types, and Uygurs create gorgeous and much variety of industrial arts. The development of industrial arts is applied in real situations, and Xinjiang's hat is one of the outstanding examples. In the model of flower hat [2], there are generally several types: quatrefoil (it is sewed with four piece of triangle materials), hat of five sides, goblets of hat, white and embroidered hat, white and geometric pattern hat, color cloth embroidered hat of dichromatism or four colors and high flower hat etc. There are several types of flower hat pattern: layout with poppyhead composed by four symmetric rotundities, ellipses, squarenesses, long triangles, and anomalous formations, and the edge is four rectangles design; layout with four symmetric poppyhead of rotary pattern, and the edge is three series pattern; layout with arranged regularly points and spread; layout with cross symmetry, each piece has framework of cross, and plan pattern according to Tian-shaped, M-shaped or square; layout with circular poppyhead, and the edge is multilayer and different width of two series pattern; and layout with five group pattern as edge's pattern. The pattern of flower hat has plant veins, such as megranate flower, peach blossom, apricot flower, chrysanthemum, peony, cotton, grape, fig, calliopsis, rose, lotus and so on; veins of natural phenomenon, for example, the hosts of heaven, snowflake; veins of animal, such as butterfly, fish; and all kinds of geometric pattern. As a part of cultural heritage, traditional manual pattern design [3,4] contains deep root of traditional culture, keeps the nature state of the national culture and the peculiar modes of their thought, and it has very high values in taste, culture, and application. With the increasing recognition of protection of traditional cultural heritage all the countries in the world, the protecation of traditional manual pattern design, especially research of the digit model has drawn more and more attention.
