1. A method for processing coverings comprising:
- placing a covering on a work surface for processing;
projecting a captured image of the same covering by a projector onto the covering that is on the work surface;
registering virtual markings of boundary lines and defects on the covering on the captured image of the same covering using a controller; and
nesting of templates on the captured image of the covering with the virtual markings and storing the nested templates as virtual markings with the captured image of the covering.

Abstract
Methods and computer program for processing coverings such as leather hides and fabrics are provided. A method for processing coverings can include placing a covering on a work surface and projecting a captured image of the covering by a projector onto the covering. Virtual markings of boundary lines and defects on the covering on the capture image can be registered using the controller. Nesting of templates can be performed on the captured image of the covering with the virtual markings and the nested templates stored as virtual markings with the captured image of the covering. The covering can then be marked, die pressed, or cut along the virtual markings.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in a computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
-
projecting onto a covering residing on a work surface a captured image of the same covering by a projector; registering virtual markings of boundary lines and defects on the covering on the captured image of the same covering using a controller; and nesting of templates on the captured image of the covering with the virtual markings and storing the nested templates as virtual markings with the captured image of the covering. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method for processing coverings comprising:
-
selecting a plurality of coverings, each of which having been processed to have a corresponding captured image of the respective covering with virtual markings of boundary lines and defects, for use to form a plurality of panels for a single product that requires multiple coverings; and performing at least one nesting of templates for the panels of the single product a plurality of times on all the selected coverings to increase the yield from the coverings. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
