Image Processing Hardware Design Problem Painting System Project Outcomes Design Specifications Testing and Results Future Work Image Processing System Architecture Control Software Ian Hooi
Image Processing Goals Goals: • Develop image processing software to: • Transform input image to user specified settings • Reproduce input image in binary form • Output in Raster (pixel-by-pixel) form Extension Goal: • Output in Vector (line) form Ian Hooi
Image Transformations Procedure • Input image • Resized to appropriate resolution • Stretching and refitting • Greyscale form • Scaled from 0-1 where 0 is black, 1 is white Original Resized Greyscale Ian Hooi
Fill and Edge Binary Images • Fill Images: Direct conversion from greyscale binary • Edge Images: outlines of the image Edge Image Edge Image Fill Image Fill Image Ian Hooi
Binary Image Threshold Settings • Converted to binary form • Threshold filter Original Original Binary: Threshold = 0.25 Binary: Threshold = 0.25 Binary: Threshold = 0.5 Binary: Threshold = 0.5 Binary: Threshold = 0.75 Binary: Threshold = 0.75 Ian Hooi
Output Type: Raster vs. Vector • Raster: pixel by pixel approach • Vector: line based approach Vector Based Output Vector Based Output Raster Based Output Raster Based Output Ian Hooi
Raster Based Approach • Image output in binary form • 1 represents white • 0 represents black • Read and processed by Control Software • Slow to paint 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 = 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 Ian Hooi
Vector Based Approach • Aim: Raster Vector • Searching Algorithm based on Portrayer (Benedettelli 2008) and Erik’s XY Plotter (2007) • Adjacent pixels chains Control software = Ian Hooi
