Abstract:
The practice of pictorial carpet making aims to reproduce figurative images in fibrous materials. For contemporary pictorial carpet practice, the range of colour is infinite however the available physical resources in the form of suitable yarn can be problematic. Pictorial carpet-making requires quantising colour into discrete values to build chromatic relationships. In this paper we explore a new 3D carpet previsualisation methodology that leverages digital signal processing approaches to aid in the consolidation of chromatic relationships in the carpet making process.
