Abstract

NeedlePaint-a new generation of intelligent punching environment for computerized embroidery is introduced in the paper. Its systems organization, data structure and implementation techniques are described in great detail. Computer software techniques such as image processing, computer-aided design and artificial intelligence etc., rich embroidery knowledge and rules, and highly efficient inference mechanism are adopted in NeedlePaint. Various input methods for original designs are available and stitches are organized automatically. Both integrity and automaticity of embroidery punching ranging from original designs inputting to image processing, stitch organizing, stitch optimizing and data transforming are covered in NeedlePaint. As a result, the quality and efficiency of embroidery punching are improved greatly
