PHOTOGRAPH SEARCH/BROWSING SYSTEM AND PROGRAM, USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL DISPLAY/OPERATION SYSTEM AND PROGRAM, USING PHOTOGRAPH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photograph search/browsing system using a three-dimensional model, a three-dimensional model display/operation system using a photograph, and its program, to be useful for digital archives.;SOLUTION: The system makes it possible to display/browse a digital photograph taken from a viewpoint similar to a three-dimensional model currently being browsed on a screen by a user, based on positions and directions obtained by comparing virtual camera data on a position and a direction of a virtual camera corresponding to the viewpoint of the user viewing the three-dimensional model of the object on the screen, with camera data on a position and a direction of a camera having captured the object, and also possible to display/operate the three-dimensional model based on the viewpoint similar to the photograph currently being browsed on the screen by the user. Creating/browsing a summary, and collecting information of wide range using a search engine of an external server can also be achieved.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
