It shows an example of

Referring to FIG. 3 , in step S310, a cutting area is created by binarizing the image data according to pixel values, an outline is created in the expanded area in which the cutting area is inflated according to a predetermined amount of margin, and a vector is used as the outline. Create cutting line data of information. Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6 , step S310 will be described in detail. In step S410, a cutting area 510 to generate a cutting line is created by binarization according to pixel values of image data. As shown in FIG. 6 , the image data 610 may include contents such as characters, photos, emoticons, and texts that the user wants to use as goods. In general, image data has RGBA (Rad, Green, Blue, Alpha) information for each pixel in a bitmap method, and since there is an anti-aliasing value, step S410 according to an embodiment of the present invention is an alpha value Based on the value of 125, which is half of 255 (opaque), the cutting area 610 where the cutting line will be made can be created.

At this time, in step S410, as shown in FIG. 5(a), binarization is performed according to pixel values of the image data to generate a region where a cutting line is to be made based on a value of 125, and transparency of the image data is generated. It is characterized in that the cutting area is generated by binarization regardless of whether or not the background color data is present. For example, the image data may include an opaque background or various image backgrounds in addition to the image data to be generated as cutting line data, but in step S410, the cutting line is generated by binarization according to the image data regardless of whether it is transparent or not and the background color. A cutting area can be created.

In step S420, based on the binarized color data, the cutting area is expanded according to a preset amount of margin to create an expanded area.

As shown in FIG. 5(b), in step S420, a dilation operation of a morphology technique using binarized color data is applied to dilate the cutting area 510 according to a preset margin. By doing so, an extended region 520 may be created. At this time, step S420 may set and apply the width of the degree of margin according to the product to which the image data is applied and the material to which it is applied. In general, the expanded area 520 is basically an area expanded by 1 pixel in the cutting area 510, but according to an embodiment, the present invention is a transparent product or sticker using acrylic such as an acrylic key ring and an acrylic life-size table. In step S420, the expanded area 520 may be created by expanding the cutting area 510 according to the degree of margin according to the set pixel. there is.

In step S430, an outer line is created in the extended area.

As shown in FIG. 5(c), in step S430, the outer line 530 may be generated by applying an erosion operation of a morphology technique in the extended area 520. Here, in step S430 , an outer line 530 may be generated by removing an image reduced by 1 pixel from the expanded object of the expanded area 520 (expanded object - reduced image by 1 pixel = outer line). In general, the outline 530 is created by removing an image reduced to 1 pixel from the expansion object of the expanded area, but according to an embodiment, the present invention is transparent using acrylic such as an acrylic keyring and an acrylic life-size stand. Depending on the type of goods such as products or stickers, an image reduced by at least 0.5 pixels to 5 pixels may be used. In step S430, the reduced image is removed according to the type of goods from the expansion object of the expanded area to form an outline (520 ) can also be created.

In step S440, cutting line data of vector information is generated by connecting outer lines with dots.

As shown in FIG. 5(d), in step S440, cutting line data 540 may be generated by connecting dots of the outer line 530, which is pixel information, and extracting coordinates to be used as vector information. Here, the cutting line data 540 may refer to a cutting line SVG file.

Accordingly, the operating method of the automatic cutting line application system according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. ) can be obtained.

Referring back to FIG. 3 , in step S320, arrangement of additional options is recommended based on pixel information of the cutting line data. Afterwards, in step S330, the position of the additional option is applied to the cutting line data according to the recommendation and editing to generate the cutting line data including the option.

In step S320, based on the pixel information of the cutting line data generated in step S310, it is possible to recommend the placement of additional options for rings or fixtures according to the product to which the image data is applied. The additional options proposed in the present invention are described as ring rings and fixtures, but are not limited thereto, and any option type required when creating goods other than ring rings and fixtures is irrelevant. Here, the ring ring represents a ring formed by being connected to another object or bent in a circle so as to be able to walk, and the fixing unit represents a part that is inserted into an acrylic plate at the bottom and fixed to build an acrylic stand. For example, the fixing table may include a helper, and the helper is formed upward from the lower fixing stand to the part where the image touches, indicating that acrylic is also generated on the connection part without the image (see FIG. 10(d)).

For example, step S320 extracts the trajectory of the ring ring along the lines of the cutting line data based on pixel information of the cutting line data, automatically generates and recommends a ring ring at a specific position among the cutting line data, and step S330 The position of the additional option can be applied by providing the position of the ring ring moving along the trajectory of the cutting line data through mouse drag or touch drag according to the selection input of .

To describe an example of step S320 with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 , step S320 extracts the trajectory of the ring ring along the lines of the cutting line data based on pixel information of the cutting line data for the image data 710, , The position of the ring ring 720 is automatically generated and recommended, and the position of the ring ring designated according to the user's selection input in step S330 is applied to generate cutting line data 730 including options.

In more detail, FIG. 8(a) shows png image data with a transparent background, FIG. 8(b) shows automatic generation of cutting lines and rings, and FIG. 8(c) changes the position by dragging the ring rings. 8 (d) shows an example of applying the location of the additional option by completing the ring ring change. Referring to FIG. 8, in step S320, a trajectory is extracted along a line of cutting line data in which a ring 721 can move based on pixel information in cutting line data of image data, and a specific It is possible to automatically generate and provide a ring ring at the location (FIG. 8 (b)). Thereafter, in step S330, in order to move the ring ring 721, when the mouse is placed on the ring ring, an indication that the ring ring can be moved (for example, displayed in a circular color) is provided to the user, and the user moves the ring ring with the mouse. Click and drag 722 to find the closest trajectory to the mouse point (eg, finger point in mobile) and locate the ring ring (FIG. 8(c)). Accordingly, step S330 shows in real time how the ring ring moves along the line outline of the cutting line data in a way that does not deviate from the trajectory, and when the user finally stops clicking and dragging the mouse, fix the ring ring at that position (723 ) (FIG. 8(d)).

As another example, in step S320, the left and right trajectories are extracted within the movable range of the stand of the fixture based on the pixel information and width of the cutting line data, and the fixture is placed at a specific location at the bottom of the cutting line data It is automatically generated and recommended, and in step S330, the position of the additional option can be applied by providing the position of the moving stand according to the left and right trajectories of the cutting line data through mouse drag or touch drag according to the user's selection input.

Referring to another example of step S320 with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 , step S320 extracts the trajectory of the fixed table based on the pixel information and width of the cutting line data for the image data 910, and The position of 920 is automatically generated and recommended, and the position of the fixed stand designated according to the user's selection input is applied in step S330 to generate cutting line data 930 including options.

In more detail, FIG. 10(a) shows PNG image data with a transparent background, FIG. 10(b) shows automatic creation of a cutting line and a fixing table, and FIG. 10(c) shows an example of changing the location by dragging a fixing stand. , and FIG. 10(d) shows an example in which the position of the additional option is applied by completing the change of the fixing table. Referring to FIG. 10, in step S320, the left and right trajectories that the stand 921 of the fixture can move are extracted based on pixel information and width size from the cutting line data of the image data, and the cutting line A fixture can be automatically created and provided at a specific location at the bottom of the data (Fig. 10(b)). At this time, step S320 is characterized in that, unlike the ring ring, the fixing table is automatically created at the lowest part of the image data, and the fixing table can only move left or right from the bottom of the image data. This is because the fixing stand is located at the bottom and serves to support the image, so it moves only to the left or right side of the bottom. Thereafter, in step S330, in order to move the fixture 921, when the mouse is placed on the fixture, an indication that the fixture can be moved (for example, displayed in a rectangular color) is provided to the user, and the user clicks the fixture with the mouse, By dragging 922, the holder can be positioned at the closest part that does not deviate from the left and right trajectory from the mouse point (eg, the finger point in mobile) (FIG. 10(c)). Accordingly, in step S330, the moving state of the fixture does not deviate from the left and right trajectories of the image data in real time, and when the user finally stops clicking and dragging the mouse, the fixture is fixed at the corresponding position (923). Figure 10(d)). At this time, as shown in FIG. 10(d), according to the present invention, the image is formed up to the upper left part, that is, the part touching the arm image, according to the fixing table formed in the lower left corner of the image data, so that acrylic is generated even in the part where there is no image. Helpers can be included.
