Filed:

Jan 20, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/354974

Inventors:

John Neal Randall - Richardson TX, US
Kenneth W. Page - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

G06T 15/00
G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345419, 345582

Abstract:

A method of generating a textured pointillist painting design comprises receiving a digital image file including a specification of a plurality of pixels representative of a digital image, the pixels each including a color definition, creating an ordered list of color definitions of the plurality of pixels in the digital image file, for each color definition in the ordered list determining a set of design parameters including: a dot size, a dot shape, a dot exclusion zone size, and a dot distribution scheme, for each color definition, determining a placement of a plurality of dots according to the pixels and color definitions in the digital image file and the set of design parameters, generating a dot list specifying the placement and design parameters of the plurality of dots representative of the digital image, and rendering on a display a facsimile image in response to the dot list.

Appl. No.:

13/354934

Inventors:

John Neal Randall - Richardson TX, US
Kenneth W. Page - Dallas TX, US

International Classification:

B05D 5/06
B05C 11/06
B05C 5/00

US Classification:

427256, 118696

Abstract:

A system of pointillist painting comprises an automated 3-D positioning system disposed proximate a painting surface, a colorant dispenser coupled to the gantry structure and having a dispensing tip in fluid communication with a colorant chamber, the gantry structure operable to move the colorant dispensing tip to a specified position of the painting surface, where the colorant dispenser is operable to apply a specified amount of a colorant to the painting surface and creating a dot having a two-dimensional coverage and three-dimensional profile at the specified position.

B05C 11/10

Abstract:

A system of pointillist painting, including a colorant dispenser having a syringe configured for storing a liquid colorant, and a colorant dispensing tip operable to be moved to successive specified positions on a painting surface, where the colorant dispenser is operable to apply specified amounts of a liquid colorant to the painting surface and creating a plurality of colorant dots each having a two-dimensional coverage and three-dimensional profile at the specified positions on the painting surface; and an air nozzle coupled to the colorant dispensing tip operable to controllably direct a controlled puff of pressurized air at least one of the plurality of colorant dots already deposited on the painting surface to modify at least one of the two-dimensional coverage and three-dimensional profile thereof is disclosed.

US Classification:

427256, 118 63

Abstract:

A system of pointillist painting comprises an automated 3-D positioning system disposed proximate a painting surface, a colorant dispenser coupled to the gantry structure and having a dispensing tip in fluid communication with a colorant chamber, the gantry structure operable to move the colorant dispensing tip to a specified position of the painting surface, where the colorant dispenser is operable to apply a specified amount of a colorant to the painting surface and creating a dot having a two-dimensional coverage and three-dimensional profile at the specified position. The colorant dispenser further comprises a piston disposed in the colorant chamber, and a push rod coupled to the piston operable to advance the piston toward the dispensing tip to exude the specified amount of colorant onto the painting surface. The system further includes an air nozzle coupled to the colorant dispensing tip operable to direct pressurized air to modify at least one of the two-dimensional coverage and three-dimensional profile of the colorant dot on the painting surface.
