Add public domain eye catalog system for CNC wood carving
Added complete system for populating eye catalog with classical carved eyes: Features: - Eye import script (import_eyes.py) for batch/single eye imports - Public domain source guide (museums: Met, Smithsonian, Getty, etc.) - Seed catalog system for pre-populating database - Organized by emotion (serene, fierce, wise, peaceful, etc.) - Organized by style (Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Renaissance) - Organized by side (left, right, both) - Auto-generates thumbnails and metadata - CNC-ready tagging system Workflow: 1. Download classical sculpture photos from public domain museums 2. Crop eyes in any image editor 3. Run import script with metadata 4. Eyes saved to catalog with proper tags 5. Apply to colored photos (pure image compositing, no AI regeneration) 6. Convert result to grayscale for CNC carving Documentation: - PUBLIC_DOMAIN_EYE_SOURCES.md: Where to find carved eyes - scripts/README.md: How to import eyes - Includes recommended starting collection (10 essential eyes) Benefits for wood carving: - Build library from master sculptors (2000+ years of proven designs) - Reusable across all projects - Consistent emotional weight in carvings - No AI regeneration - just intelligent copy/paste/blend - Perfect for CNC workflow (colored preview → grayscale → carve) The patch library system uses PIL/OpenCV for image compositing, NOT AI regeneration, so it preserves exact carved geometry.

# Eye Catalog Import Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
Tools for populating your carved eye catalog with public domain examples.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Download Classical Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the guide: `/docs/PUBLIC_DOMAIN_EYE_SOURCES.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Best sources:**
|
||||
- Metropolitan Museum (CC0)
|
||||
- Smithsonian Open Access
|
||||
- Getty Museum Open Content
|
||||
|
||||
**Download 10-20 high-res images** of carved eyes from classical sculptures.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Crop the Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
Use any image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Preview, etc.):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open statue photo
|
||||
2. Zoom in on eye
|
||||
3. Crop just the eye (include eyelids, socket, tear duct)
|
||||
4. Save as PNG with descriptive name:
|
||||
- `greek_serene_left.png`
|
||||
- `roman_fierce_right.png`
|
||||
- `egyptian_wise_left.png`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Import to Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
**Easy way (one at a time):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd backend/scripts
|
||||
|
||||
# Import a Greek serene eye
|
||||
python import_eyes.py greek_serene_left.png \
|
||||
--emotion serene \
|
||||
--side left \
|
||||
--style greek
|
||||
|
||||
# Import a Roman fierce eye
|
||||
python import_eyes.py roman_fierce_right.png \
|
||||
--emotion fierce \
|
||||
--side right \
|
||||
--style roman
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Batch import:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Import all Greek eyes at once
|
||||
python import_eyes.py greek_*.png \
|
||||
--emotion serene \
|
||||
--side both \
|
||||
--style greek
|
||||
|
||||
# Import all Roman eyes
|
||||
python import_eyes.py roman_*.png \
|
||||
--emotion fierce \
|
||||
--side both \
|
||||
--style roman
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||

||||
- `peaceful` - Gentle, kind (Archaic Greek)
|
||||
- `joyful` - Happy, smiling (rare in classical)
|
||||
- `sorrowful` - Sad, mourning (some Hellenistic)
|
||||
- `neutral` - Default, no strong emotion
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Build a Complete Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Download eyes from Met Museum
|
||||
# (See PUBLIC_DOMAIN_EYE_SOURCES.md)
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Crop and save them:
|
||||
# greek_serene_left.png
|
||||
# greek_serene_right.png
|
||||
# roman_fierce_left.png
|
||||
# roman_fierce_right.png
|
||||
# etc.
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Import them all:
|
||||
|
||||
python import_eyes.py greek_serene_left.png --emotion serene --side left --style greek
|
||||
python import_eyes.py greek_serene_right.png --emotion serene --side right --style greek
|
||||
python import_eyes.py roman_fierce_left.png --emotion fierce --side left --style roman
|
||||
python import_eyes.py roman_fierce_right.png --emotion fierce --side right --style roman
|
||||
|
||||
# Or batch:
|
||||
python import_eyes.py greek_*.png --emotion serene --side both --style greek
|
||||
python import_eyes.py roman_*.png --emotion fierce --side both --style roman
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Recommended Starting Collection
|
||||
|
||||
### 10 Essential Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Greek Serene Left** (peaceful carvings)
|
||||
2. **Greek Serene Right**
|
||||
3. **Greek Archaic Left** (stylized, simple)
|
||||
4. **Greek Archaic Right**
|
||||
5. **Roman Fierce Left** (powerful portraits)
|
||||
6. **Roman Fierce Right**
|
||||
7. **Roman Wise Left** (aged, realistic)
|
||||
8. **Roman Wise Right**
|
||||
9. **Egyptian Stylized Left** (distinctive style)
|
||||
10. **Egyptian Stylized Right**
|
||||
|
||||
This gives you 5 styles/emotions to start!

|
||||
|
||||
## Check Your Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
### Via API
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# List all eyes in catalog
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8101/patches/?category=carved_eye
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter by emotion
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8101/patches/?category=carved_eye&tags=serene
|
||||
|
||||
# Filter by style
|
||||
curl http://localhost:8101/patches/?tags=greek
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Via Web Interface
|
||||
|
||||
Go to: `http://your-server:3080`
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to patch library to browse your eyes visually.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced: Seed Script
|
||||
|
||||
For batch importing from the `seed_data/eyes/` directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Place all cropped eyes in:
|
||||
mkdir -p seed_data/eyes/
|
||||
# Copy your eye images there
|
||||
|
||||
# 2. Edit seed_eye_catalog.py to add metadata
|
||||
|
||||
# 3. Run:
|
||||
python seed_eye_catalog.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This auto-imports all eyes in `seed_data/eyes/` with pre-configured metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
1. **High resolution:** Use images 1000px+ for best results
|
||||
2. **Clean crops:** Include some surrounding area, not just the eyeball
|
||||
3. **Consistent naming:** Use descriptive filenames
|
||||
4. **Test first:** Import 2-3 eyes to test the workflow
|
||||
5. **Build gradually:** Start with 10 eyes, expand as needed
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**"File not found":**
|
||||
- Make sure you're in `backend/scripts/` directory
|
||||
- Use full path or relative path to image
|
||||
|
||||
**"Database connection error":**
|
||||
- Make sure backend is running: `docker compose up backend`
|
||||
- Check database exists: `ls -la ../../data/`
|
||||
|
||||
**"Import failed":**
|
||||
- Check image format (PNG, JPG supported)
|
||||
- Verify file isn't corrupted
|
||||
- Check file permissions
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
After importing eyes:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Test them:** Apply to a colored photo via API
|
||||
2. **Refine:** Add more variations as needed
|
||||
3. **Build library:** Aim for 20-30 eyes covering all emotions
|
||||
4. **Share:** Your best eyes can be exported and shared
|
||||
|
||||
**Your catalog of master sculptor's eyes is ready to use!**

## How to Find the Perfect Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
### Search Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Search for heads/busts, not full statues:**
|
||||
- "greek marble head"
|
||||
- "roman portrait bust"
|
||||
- "classical sculpture face"
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Specific periods:**
|
||||
- "archaic greek kouros" (serene, stylized)
|
||||
- "classical greek sculpture" (idealized, peaceful)
|
||||
- "hellenistic sculpture" (emotional, dramatic)
|
||||
- "roman portrait" (realistic, wise)
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Look for close-ups:**
|
||||
- Museums often provide detail shots
|
||||
- Check "zoom" or "IIIF viewer" options

||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

||||
3. Save to your computer
|
||||
|

### Step 3: Crop the Eyes
|
||||
|
||||
Use any image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, etc.):
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the full statue image
|
||||
2. Zoom in on one eye
|
||||
3. Crop just the eye area:

- Square or slightly rectangular crop
|
||||

||||
- `roman_fierce_right.png`
|
||||
- etc.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Repeat for other eye (if different)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Organize
|
||||
|
||||
Place cropped eyes in:
|
||||
```
|
||||
./backend/scripts/seed_data/eyes/
|
||||
├── greek_serene_left.png
|
||||
├── greek_serene_right.png
|
||||
├── roman_fierce_left.png
|
||||
├── roman_fierce_right.png
|
||||
├── greek_peaceful_left.png
|
||||
└── ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Run Seed Script
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd backend
|
||||
python scripts/seed_eye_catalog.py
|
||||
```
