AmericoDraws 0.1.0

A library for processing images for robotic drawing

AmericoDraws

A Python library for processing images and converting them into robotic arm drawing paths.

Installation

pip install robotic-drawer

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/robotic_drawer.git
cd robotic_drawer
pip install -e .

Dependencies

• Python 3.7+
• NumPy
• Matplotlib
• OpenCV
• Pillow
• scikit-learn
• NetworkX
• rembg (for background removal)

Usage

Basic Usage

from robotic_drawer.image_processor import process_image_for_robot

# Process an image and get robot movement points
points = process_image_for_robot(
    "input_image.jpg",
    output_dir="output",
    save_intermediate_steps=True
)

# The points can be used to control a robotic arm
# Each point is [x, y, z, a, e, r] for position and orientation

Command Line Example

The library includes a simple command-line example:

python -m examples.simple_drawing input_image.jpg --output-dir output --scale 1.2

Features

• Background Removal: Automatically removes background from images
• Contour Extraction: Detects edges and extracts contours
• Path Optimization: Optimizes drawing paths for efficiency
• 3D Visualization: Visualizes the robot path in 3D
• Pen Up/Down Control: Intelligently controls pen movements
