Abstract:

To solve the problems encountered in digital simulation of batik crack patterns, this paper has proposed an improved efficient algorithm of crack simulation based on distance transformation and analysis on characteristics of crack on hand-made batik dyeing in different conditions. Firstly, the initial position was determined after distance transformed. Then the spread direction was determined according to the gradient of distance transformation. Finally, the dyeing of cracks was simulated by using Multiplicative Color Model regarding to the different features of cracks and the crossing area between the old cracks and new ones. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can perform lifelike crack simulation on batik, and batilk effects with various crack patterns can be plotted by varying parameters.
