A method to extract batik fabric pattern and elements

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of digital inheritance and innovation of batik fabric patterns, a method for extracting batik fabric pattern and element was proposed. First, performing morphological preprocessing on the obtained digital image of batik fabric, including morphological gradient, reconstruction and local maximum image acquisition and adjustment, not only effectively remove the texture and noise in the image, but also get a binary image that can clearly reflect the overall characteristics of the pattern and elements. Then, for the complete elements in the image, according to the labeled number, the element is reserved, and other elements are set as the background to extract each element in the image, and generate an independent elements image. Finally, the canny algorithm was used to extract the overall contour of the batik fabric pattern and elements to obtain pattern contour and elements contour that can be read and edited independently. Experimental results for different batik fabric images and image segmentation methods proved the effectiveness of the method.
