Title
Verfahren zum Erstellen eines Mosaikbildes
Other Title
Mosaic image generation procedure for e.g. building, design and handicraft industries - using personal computer to process data from two-dimensional or three-dimensional pattern and to provide control data for robot used to construct mosaic image.
Abstract
The image generation procedure produces a mosaic image (15) from a two- or three-dimensional pattern (6) using an image processing system (1). Data giving information about the image is processed in an electronic data processing system (2), which may be a personal computer, with a screen showing the pattern for the mosaic. The personal computer provides output information which is used to control one robot-type manual manipulator. The manual manipulator takes mosaic segments from a store (13) and places them on an associated support (14) in such a way that the colour of each segment is within the tolerance for that particular area of the image. ADVANTAGE - Enables variety of mosaic images to be produced, using segments made of different materials, sizes and shapes and positioned at differing distances.
