We first develop an effective way to simulate a single thread, and define rendering primitive called stitch which is a collection of threads arranged in a certain pattern. Then, we segment the input image and partition each region into non-uniform sub-regions, from which a color quantization method is proposed to select colors used in the rendering process for each sub-region from a specific color library. During runtime, new stitches can be synthesized for each sub-region via sparse modeling based on the pre-defined stitches. Smoothness constraints are added to this process to avoid local distortions. Finally, rendering image is generated by placing stitches with different attributes on the canvas. Experiments show that our method can perform fine images with the style of random-needle.}, year = {2018}, volume = {10735 LNCS}, pages = {135-142}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, school = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, isbn = {03029743 (ISSN); 9783319773797 (ISBN)}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85072383287&doi=10.1109%2fDigitalHeritage.2018.8810050&partnerID=40&md5=4ec6ea35ee388d98d54ff5330c126d55}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-77380-3_49}, note = {Journal Abbreviation: Lect.
