Automated Headstone Photo Engraving

Abstract:

Nowadays, machine engraving of photos into solid materials such as marble or granite is becoming very popular. Relatively cheap CNC machines are available. The problem is that high quality photos are essential to obtain good results. The first part of the paper describes a model of a CNC machine used for engraving and puts down the principles of image processing applied to poor quality photos in order to get the best results, as well as the fundamental image processing methods necessary for achieving satisfactory results when using an electromagnetic diamond percussion tool for engraving. The second part of the paper describes a very simple method of data coding and the algorithm of engraving tool movement for image engraving process by means of a control system based on ATmega16 microcontroller. The quality of the engraved images is comparable, or even better, than that of manually engraved images or images engraved by other competitive CNC machines.
