How to select an image from the most similar of the plurality of three-dimensional model to the input image

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for selecting an image from plural three- dimensional models most similar to an input image.;SOLUTION: This method determines a drawn image most similar to the input image for plural three-dimensional models by positioning the respective three-dimensional models with respect to the input image, thereafter calculating a linear part space, and finding the drawn image in a partial set of the linear part space. In this case, it is preferable that respective red, green and blue components are repeated for the respective three-dimensional models. The linear part space is preferably either four-dimensional or nine-dimensional.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
