Lineart

Introduction

String art

The sum of the intensities in each direction (a line integral).

$\rho =x\cos \theta +y\sin \theta$

The new image will be

$R(\rho ,\theta )=\int {\it {f(x,y)\delta (\rho -x\cos \theta +y\sin \theta )dxdy}}$

White canvas $R$ with $N$ nails around the circumference and add straight black lines between the nails.

Starting nail angle $\psi _{1}$ and ending nail angle $\psi _{2}$ . Maximum number of lines is ${n \choose 2}={\frac {N(N-1)}{2}}$
Convert image array to vectors, and make the linear combination: $Ax=b$ .
