2. Description of irregular shapes
How can we move from a space where the human placer manipulates cardboard templates to a digital representation for a computer, for example, in the context of garment pattern placement? Several processing steps are required to solve this problem.
2.1 Contour discretization
Apart from any required connection points, only the outline is required to know which objects are to be placed. In this case, the contour is defined using a drawing-editing tool or extracted from the database of a CAD (computer-aided design) system in the design workshop. It can also be the result of a contour search algorithm based on the image of a template taken from a camera or scanner.
In all cases, the contour is discretized relative to the tessellation (square,...
