Abstract
A method and system are disclosed for automatically generating embroidery designs. A described method includes segmenting image data into a plurality of objects including a first object, recursively generating fragments from the first object to generate an order in which the fragments are to be sewn, the order to reduce thread cuts or increase path connectivity between the fragments, and generating an image output file representative of an embroidery design based on the fragments and the order.
