You are on the right track, and can do it with software or with a cam system,, which i think that photo was done with a cams machine

so options would be

1. Cams machine,

2. Rhinestone software and the knowlege to run that software,, to creat the image,,

3. Custom hand place each dot where it needs to go.
anyone else have suggestions?

I was thinking that once u convert a photo to a black/white monochrome image like the one above and then the white bits on the image are filled with rhinestones and the black parts left blank (so that the colour of the tee will fill this in)

any other theories?
