| Abstract | In the high competitive marketplace, the businesses that can serve individual customer requirements will have advantages over their competitors. Recently, a design by customer concept that involves customer in the design state of a product development has been implemented for multi-color nested pattern products, specifically ceramic tile decoration. The developed production system allows the customer to express their own designs through computer drawing images in which the input image is processed to extract the information for producing the output products. In order to increase the customer satisfaction, the system performance will be enhanced to be more robust to support photograph input and cover all manufacturing condition. Presented in this thesis is the enhancement of the three processes: extracting input image information, identifying tool path and improving user interface involved in extending the implementation of design by customer concept for multi-color nested pattern products. For extracting information from image, the existing contour tracing algorithm requires all contours on a binary image that are extracted from the color input image to be one pixel wide closed contours. The required input may be difficult to achieve from a typical photograph image with existing edge detection algorithms. Presented in this thesis is the algorithm to automatically generate the binary image of single pixel wide closed contour from photograph without user intervention in which the output from the algorithm can be directly fed to the contour tracing algorithm. |
