Abstract

Irregular needling embroidery has a very high artistic value as a Changzhou craftwork. Artists use stitches of rich colors and apply different types of stitch categories from course to fine on multiple layers to express objects. This paper proposes an irregular needling embroidery rendering method based on image. We first decompose the image into different regions, vector fields and image detail information to guild the subsequent simulation process. Then we hierarchically render the image with a series of layers and propose a multilayer rendering technique. Additionally, we build a stitch dictionary and present a method to simulate the threads. Experimental results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper transfers reference images quickly and efficiently into their irregular needling embroidery simulations.
