Abstract

Under competitive environment, customer involvement in product design has been emphasized to increase attractiveness of products. Production process needs preparation to be ready to serve variety of individual needs. Presented in this paper is an application of image processing for implementing design by customer concept on a multi-color nested pattern product, specifically ceramic tile decoration. Algorithms for contour tracing and tile color selection have been developed. Passing through the algorithms, a color input image of multi-color nested pattern design is converted to be ordered sequences of pixel coordinates of all contours, ready for cutting selected tiles. The algorithms have been successfully implemented on LabVIEW software.
