Abstract (en)

A method for reproducing by means of weaving a maximum number M of loom colors, an image formed or deemed to be suitably representable by a number of colors greater than M, comprises the phases of defining zones in the image, each one of which is formed or deemed to be suitably representable by a maximum number of colors equal at most to M; breaking up the image into subimages corresponding to the defined zones; weaving all the subimages onto patches of fabric, choosing for each patch the subimages to be woven thereupon in such a way as not to have in total more than M colors for each patch; cutting out the subimages of the patches; joining together the different subimages to obtain the image that it is desired to reproduce. Also a system according to the method is disclosed.
