Abstract

An embroidery system includes a coloring device to color a thread. The embroidery system includes an embroidery device to perform embroidery of an embroidery design and underlay stitching. The embroidery device uses the thread colored by the coloring device for at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching. The embroidery system includes circuitry to: create data of the embroidery design and the underlay stitching according to embroidery image data; create color data for coloring the thread to be used for coloring the at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching; acquire roughness data representing roughness impression of the embroidery image data; and change an embroidery density of the embroidery design according to the roughness data.

Claims (43)

1. An embroidery system comprising:

a colorizer to color a thread;

an embroiderer to perform embroidery of an embroidery design and underlay stitching, the embroiderer being configured to use the thread colored by the colorizer for at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching; and

circuitry configured to:

create data of the embroidery design and the underlay stitching according to embroidery image data;

create color data for coloring the thread to be used for coloring the at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching;

acquire roughness data representing roughness impression of the embroidery image data;

change an embroidery density of the embroidery design according to the roughness data;

extract an area in which a degree of roughness of the embroidery image data is larger than a reference degree;

reduce the embroidery density of the embroidery design corresponding to the area in which the degree of roughness is larger; and

increase a contrast between a color of the thread used for embroidery of the embroidery design corresponding to the area in which the degree of roughness is larger and a color of the thread used for the underlay stitching.

2. The embroidery system of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a contrast between a color of the thread used for the embroidery of the embroidery design and a color of the thread used for the underlay stitching according to the roughness data.

3. The embroidery system of claim 1 , wherein the roughness data is data of a contrast of an image of the embroidery image data.

4. The embroidery system of claim 1 , wherein the roughness data is data of a frequency of an image of the embroidery image data.

5. The embroidery system of claim 1 , wherein the roughness data is set by a user.

6. An embroidery system, comprising:

a colorizer to color a thread;

an embroiderer to perform embroidery of an embroidery design and underlay stitching, the embroiderer being to use the thread colored by the colorizer for at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching; and

circuitry configured to:

create data of the embroidery design and the underlay stitching according to embroidery image data;

create color data for coloring the thread to be used for coloring the at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching;

acquire roughness data representing roughness impression of the embroidery image data;

change an embroidery density of the embroidery design according to the roughness data;

extract an area in which a degree of roughness of the embroidery image data is larger than a reference degree;

reduce the embroidery density of the embroidery design corresponding to the area in which the degree of roughness is larger; and

increase a difference in brightness between a color of the thread used for embroidery of the embroidery design corresponding to the area in which the degree of roughness is larger and a color of the thread used for the underlay stitching.

7. The embroidery system of claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a contrast between a color of the thread used for the embroidery of the embroidery design and a color of the thread used for the underlay stitching according to the roughness data.

8. The embroidery system of claim 6 , wherein the roughness data is data of a contrast of an image of the embroidery image data.

9. The embroidery system of claim 6 , wherein the roughness data is data of a frequency of an image of the embroidery image data.

10. The embroidery system of claim 6 , wherein the roughness data is set by a user.

11. An embroidery system, comprising:

a colorizer to color a thread;

an embroiderer to perform embroidery of an embroidery design and underlay stitching, the embroiderer being to use the thread colored by the colorizer for at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching; and

circuitry configured to:

create data of the embroidery design and the underlay stitching according to embroidery image data;

create color data for coloring the thread to be used for coloring the at least one of the embroidery of the embroidery design or the underlay stitching;

acquire roughness data representing roughness impression of the embroidery image data; and

change an embroidery density of the embroidery design according to the roughness data,

wherein the roughness data is data of surface roughness acquired from a motif of the embroidery image data.

12. The embroidery system of claim 11 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to change a contrast between a color of the thread used for the embroidery of the embroidery design and a color of the thread used for the underlay stitching according to the roughness data.

13. The embroidery system of claim 11 , wherein the roughness data is data of a contrast of an image of the embroidery image data.

14. The embroidery system of claim 11 , wherein the roughness data is data of a frequency of an image of the embroidery image data.

15. The embroidery system of claim 11 , wherein the roughness data is set by a user.
