Method, system, apparatus, and program for instantly estimating the number of stitches for an embroidered design |
摘要 |
A method implemented on a computer having a processor and a memory coupled to the processor for determining an estimated number of stitches for an embroidered design. The method includes uploading a file containing a design comprised of at least one of art and text; flattening the design into a flat file; determining a number of pixels that are non-transparent in the flat file; determining a percentage of non-transparent pixels in a total pixel area available for decorating; estimating a measurement of an area to be decorated using the percentage of non-transparent pixels; and determining the estimated the number of stitches in the design using the measurement of the area to be decorated. |

1. A method implemented on a computer having a processor and a memory coupled to said processor for determining an estimated number of stitches and an estimated price for an embroidered design, said method comprising the steps of:
a) uploading a file containing a design comprised of at least one of art and text; b) flattening the design into a flat file; c) determining a number of pixels that are non-transparent in the flat file; d) determining a percentage of non-transparent pixels in a total pixel area available for decorating; e) estimating a measurement of an area to be decorated using the percentage of non-transparent pixels; f) determining the estimated the number of stitches in the design using the measurement of the area to be decorated; and g) determining and displaying a cost estimate for the design based on the estimated number of stitches; said method further comprising editing the design, including re-sizing the design or adding or deleting portions of the design, when instructed by a user and then repeating steps a to g; wherein steps b-g are performed by said processor. |
