Abstract: ChangZhou embroidery with disordered needles represents local culture. It's
urgent to develop advanced technique for its protection and inheritance. This paper presents an
approach for simulated generating method of embroidery with disordered needles based on image
decomposition. This is achieved through decomposing an image into different object regions,
vector fields, and image details. We obtain the simulated multilayer superposition effect of
embroidery with disordered needles through multilayer rendering technique. Finally, we create a
database of disordered needles, and provide realistic rendering through the method of simulating
single string stitch. The results show that this framework can effectively reproduce the artistic
effect and lays a foundation for digital inheritance of embroidery with disordered needles.
