Stitch data is generated by the coordinates of the left end and the right end of the dot column in each row by the search and the coordinates of the needle drop point located inside the coordinates. O Correction of Input Image Shift and Generation of Embroidery Data Next, the procedure of input image correction and generation of embroidery data will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 8 to 15. The following description uses the first reference point and the second reference point as reference marks.
The case where the planar position and the rotation angle of the read image data in the XY direction are corrected by using the reference point (1) will be described. In FIG. 1, the steps of each processing of Sn (n = 1, 2, 3,...) Are shown. Prior to S1 in FIG. 1, the first original image is separated for each color to create a plurality of second original images. Explaining with the example of FIG. 8, "red" and "green" shown in FIG.
A first original OP0 consisting of three colors “black” is assigned to each of the ninth
As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 11, the image is separated into three second original images OP1 to OP3, and a first reference point P1 and a second reference point P2 are provided as reference marks at the same position of the reading frame. Three second original images are created. [1] Image reading S1 This is an image reading step, in which one of the second original images separated for each color is read by the image input means, and the image data is written to the VRAM of the embroidery data creation device 10. [2]
The center coordinates of the first reference point are obtained. The center coordinates of the first reference point P1 are obtained by the following processing procedure. S2 Search within the upper rectangular area of the input image data. In FIG. 14, from the origin P0 of the input original image data, dots of the image are searched in a predetermined order within a predetermined range, and a dot at a reference point P1 having a spread is found. S3 Determine whether a dot is detected within the rectangular range. If no dot is detected, the input of the original image is not correct.
After returning to S1 and re-inputting, the subsequent processing is performed. If a dot is detected, the process proceeds to the next step. S4 First, the dot positions at the left end and the right end of the continuous dot row in the row (horizontal direction) are obtained, and a row above the obtained dot position is searched in a range between the obtained dot positions. The left end and the right end are obtained, and the same operation is performed on the line above the left end and the right end, to obtain the line number immediately before the dot column disappears and the left end position of the dot column, that is, the upper end position Ya1 (FIG. 14). . S5: A search is made for a lower row in the range between the two dot positions detected in S4, and a search is made for the lower row in the same manner as described above to obtain the lower end position Yb1 (FIG. 14). S6 Y in Y direction among center coordinates (Xc1, Yc1) of first reference point P1
Find c1. Yc1 is obtained by the following equation. Yc1 = (Ya1 + Yb1) / 2 S7 A continuous dot row in the row of Yc1 is searched, and the center coordinate Xc1 in the X direction is obtained from the left end Xa1 and the right end Xb1. Xc1 is obtained by the following equation. Xc1 = (Xa1 + Xb1) / 2 [3] Find the center coordinates of the second reference point. S8 to S13 In the same manner as S2 to S7, a second reference point P2 within a predetermined range from the origin P0 of the original image data is searched for, and the center coordinates (Xc2, Yc2) of P2 are obtained. It is determined whether a dot is detected within the rectangular range in S9 during the processing from S8. If no dot is detected, the input of the original image is not appropriate, so the process returns to S1 and the subsequent processing is performed after re-input. [4] The displacement in the rotation direction and the X and Y directions is obtained. S14 From the center coordinates of the reference points P1 and P2, a displacement _{0 in} the rotation direction of each dot of the original image data is obtained by the following equation. ₀ = tan ^-1 {(Xc2-Xc1) / (Yc2-Yc1)} The deviations Xd and Yd in the X and Y directions of each dot of the original image data with respect to the case where P1 is matched with the origin P0 of the original image data are obtained. Xd = Xc1 Yd = Yc1 [5] This is a correction operation processing step of moving each dot of the input image to the corrected coordinate position. S15, S16 In S1, the input image memory is searched, the corrected coordinates are calculated by the following equation, and the pixel (dot) is moved to a new coordinate position in S16. Position coordinates X, Y before correction Assuming position coordinates Xnew, Ynew after correction, However, [6] Reference marker erasing step of erasing dot data of the first and second reference points S17 After moving all dots, the first reference point P1 and the second reference point
Delete the dot data of P2. [7] Generation of embroidery data S18 This is a stitch data generation processing step, in which stitch data is generated according to the method shown in the stitch data generation processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2, and a color change code is added after the generation. In the present embodiment, first, a stitch data is generated from the corrected original image data for the “red” original image pattern in FIG. 9, and then a color change code is added. S19 It is determined whether there is a next color. If there is a next color to be input, the process returns to S1 to execute the subsequent processing. In this embodiment, the operations [1] to [7] are performed also on the “green” and “black” images in FIGS. 10 and 11. When the next color has disappeared, the process proceeds to S20. S20 Add an end code and terminate the program. Next, the details of the stitch data generation process in step S18 in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, Tn (n = 1, 2, 3,...) Indicates a step of each processing. The upper left end of the T1 image (point P1 in the example of FIG. 13) is set as a search start point. [11] First Detection Step This is a step of searching within a rectangle to check for the presence or absence of image data (hereinafter, dots). T2 Search in a predetermined rectangular relatively narrow range in a predetermined order. In the first search, a range from the upper left corner of the image to a lower right quarter of a predetermined rectangular range is searched. It is determined whether or not there is a T3 dot. If there is a dot, the process proceeds to T8. If there is no dot, the process proceeds to T4. [12] Second detection step T4 Search the line from left to right from the last last stitch position, and search the line below it from left to right when it reaches the right end. This operation is repeated until a dot is found. T5 Search the line from right to left from the last last stitch position, and search the line above from right to left when it reaches the left end. This operation is repeated until a dot is found. The presence or absence of a T6 dot is determined. If there is a dot, the process proceeds to T7. If there is no dot, the process proceeds to T25. If dots are found in the T7, T4, and T5 searches, the smaller of these dots from the last final stitch position is selected. If one dot is found, select it. If no dot is found in the search of T25 T4 and T5, the processing of the image read from the second original image is completed and the conversion to stitch data has been completed, so a color change code is added and shown in FIG. Return to the main routine. [13] First Start Point Determination Step This is a step of searching the upper and lower ends of the image block and generating a jump stitch. T8 In the row with the dot selected in T2 or T7, find the dot positions at the left and right ends of the dot row, search for the row above it within the range of both obtained dot positions, and find the dot row if there is a dot. The left end and the right end are obtained, and a search is performed in the same manner for the line above the left end, and the line number immediately before the dot column disappears and the left end position of the dot column are obtained as the upper end position. T9 In the row with the dot selected in T2 or T7, find the dot positions on the left and right ends of the dot row, search the row below it in the range of both obtained dot positions, and if there is a dot, The left end and the right end are obtained, and the search is performed in the same manner on the lower line, and the line number immediately before the dot column disappears and the left end position of the dot column are obtained as the lower end position. T10 Of the upper and lower ends, the one closer to the last final stitch position is the current stitch start position. T11 Generate jump data from the last last stitch position to the current stitch start position. T12 The embroidery direction is determined by whether the current stitch start position is the upper end or the lower end of the block, and the process branches to the corresponding step. The processing of T13 to T18 is a needle drop point setting step of forming a stitch of linear sewing from the stitch start position, generating a stitch while searching downward from the upper end of the block, and erasing the processed dot row. , T19 to T23 are a second starting point determination step for searching the previous (upper) row in parallel with the processing. The processing of T33 to T38 is processing of forming a stitch of linear stitching from the stitch start position, generating a stitch while searching upward from the lower end of the block, and erasing the processed dot row, and T39 to T43. Is a process for searching the previous (lower) line in parallel with the process. The series of processing from T33 to T43 is basically the same as the processing from T13 to T23, except that the vertical direction is reversed. Therefore, the processing from T13 to T23 will be mainly described here. [14] Needle drop point setting step T13, T14 In step T13, the left and right ends of the dot row in the row of the stitch start position are obtained, and the needle drop point for straight stitching is set between them. 5, the second and subsequent stitches are set to a position associated with a predetermined sewing pitch and a row number as shown in FIG. 5, and the last is a needle drop point at the right end position. At T14, the dot row for the processed line for which the needle drop point has been set is deleted from the image memory. T15 to T18 Search and find the left end of the dot row in the lower row as the next row, and if there is a dot row in the lower row, the position associated with the right edge of the previous row by row number Set the needle drop point from the right end to the left end. [15] Second Start Point Determination Step T19 Although not shown, the upper row as the previous row is searched, and if it is determined in T19 that there is an unprocessed dot row in the previous row, T20
The process proceeds to T23 if there is no dot row. T20 Search upward to find the upper end position as the start point. T21 Determine whether there is a start point. The presence or absence of the start point is determined by whether or not the distance from the last last stitch position exceeds a certain distance. T22 if there is a starting point
Then, if there is no start point, the process proceeds to T23 or later. If there is a T22 start point, a jump stitch is generated. T23 Although not shown, the lower row is searched to determine whether there is a dot row. If there is a dot row, the process returns to T13, and the process from T13 to T23 is repeated. If there is no dot row, the process returns to T2 and the process from T2 is performed. The processing of T33 to T43 is basically the same as the processing of T13 to T23 except that the up and down direction is reversed, and therefore the description is omitted here. The first method of creating embroidery data described above
Embroidery data that can be embroidered on a card is created from a plurality of second originals separately created for each color from the original. From the first original picture OP0 shown in FIG. 8, FIG.
By creating a plurality of second original images OP1 to OP3 shown in FIG. 11, creating embroidery data by the embroidery data creation method described above, and performing embroidery sewing, beautiful embroidery by color without overlapping each color. It becomes possible. ○ Embroidery with a three-dimensional effect Depending on the pattern, design, etc. of the original pattern to be embroidered, it is more effective to embroider by partially overlapping the embroidery parts of each color to give a three-dimensional effect There is. In this case, the reference marks of the second original image are shifted with respect to each other in accordance with the purpose, or the width of each line is increased, and then the embroidery data is created by the embroidery data creation method described above. By creating and performing embroidery, a part of stitches of different colors overlaps, and beautiful color embroidery stitches can be performed with stitches having a three-dimensional effect. ○ In the case where a reference line is provided as a reference mark The above description is based on the case where the reference line is created separately for each color from the first original image.
Has been described in which the first reference point and the second reference point are provided as reference marks on the original image of the second original image. Alternatively, the first reference point may be provided by providing a reference line on each of the second original images as the reference mark. The same processing as when the reference point and the second reference point are provided can be performed. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIG. FIG.
And Q is dot data of the read reference line. The first reference point R1 and the second reference point R2 are obtained for the dot data Q of the reference line (hereinafter referred to as the reference line Q) by an appropriate method, so that the correction movement amount and the correction rotation angle of the original image data in the XY direction are obtained. Can be obtained in the same manner as described above, and the coordinates of the first reference point R1 are used to obtain the correction movement amount in the XY direction, and the first reference point R1 and the second
The corrected rotation angle can be obtained from the positional relationship of the coordinates of the reference point R2. First reference point R1, second to reference line Q
In the example of FIG. 16, the reference point R2 is the upper left and lower left points of the reference line Q. In this case, the second reference point is replaced with R2 from the first reference point. It may be a point R2 'at the left end of the reference line Q at a certain distance. Further, the first reference point R1 and the second reference point R2 with respect to the reference line Q can be set, for example, in relation to the center line of the reference line Q instead of the example of FIG. In the case where only one reference point is used as a reference marker A case where only one reference point is used as a reference marker will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, a scanner guide 50 as a guide means is provided with a first guide 52 and a second guide 53 on a substrate 51, and the first guide 52 is the image scanner 20 (FIG. 3). The upper end of the maximum movable range in the Y direction of the second guide 53 is regulated.
Guides the image scanner 20 in the X direction. In reading the original image data from the second original image OP4, first, the second original image OP4 is placed and fixed on the substrate 51 so that the Y-direction component is parallel to the second guide 53,
After placing the image scanner 20 on the second original OP4 and placing the image scanner 20 so that the upper end thereof is in contact with the first guide 52, the image scanner 20 is brought into contact with the guide surface 53a of the second guide 53. Move and read the original image data from the second original image OP4. In this case, the correction of the original image data after reading is unnecessary for the rotation angle, and only the correction in the XY direction is necessary.
Only the reference mark of the position in the XY direction need be provided as the reference mark of the second original image. For example, as shown in FIG. 17, a single reference point R 'can be used as the reference mark. In the above embodiment, the RAM card 30 in which the embroidery data created by the embroidery data creation device 10 is stored is set on the sewing machine, and the start / stop key 41 of the sewing machine is pressed. Embroidery sewing is performed based on the embroidery data read from the RAM card 30, and if there is a color change code, the sewing machine automatically stops and the color of the upper thread can be changed. It can also be. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the image processing program is stored in the ROM incorporated in the sewing machine, a dedicated terminal is provided on the sewing machine, an image scanner as an image input device is connected, and the original image is processed in the same manner as described above. The original image data is read from the pattern, the embroidery data is created online by the same processing program as the embroidery data creation device described above, the created embroidery data is temporarily stored, and the embroidery is performed via a data buffer or the like.
