1. A method to automatically generate embroidery data from image data, comprising:

  • identifying vertices in a set of chain-code points defining an edge of a first object to be embroidered;

    filtering the vertices by;

    determining whether a height of a first triangle defined by a first one of the vertices and ones of the vertices that neighbor the first one of the vertices is at least a threshold; and

    when the height is less than the threshold, eliminating the first one of the vertices from the vertices; and

    generating embroidery data based on the filtered vertices.
