VIRTUAL PATTERN-PREPARING APPARATUS, VIRTUAL PATTERN-PREPARING METHOD, VIRTUAL PATTERN-PREPARING PROGRAM AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM IN WHICH VIRTUAL PATTERN-PREPARING PROGRAM IS RECORDED

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a virtual pattern-preparing apparatus, a virtual pattern-preparing method and a virtual pattern-preparing program in which a pattern according to the shape of a three-dimensional article can each virtually be prepared and to provide a computer-readable recording medium in which the virtual pattern-preparing program is recorded.;SOLUTION: The virtual pattern-preparing apparatus for virtually preparing the pattern according to the shape of the three-dimensional article is equipped with a three-dimensional data-acquiring part 101 for acquiring three-dimensional data of a three-dimensional article memorized in a three-dimensional data memory unit 201, a developed image-preparing unit 102 for preparing a two-dimensional developed image by developing the three-dimensional article by using lines binding characteristic points characterizing unevenness of the three-dimensional article acquired by the three-dimensional data-acquiring unit 101 as developing lines, a developed image-enlarging unit 104 for enlarging the two-dimensional developed image prepared by the developed image-preparing unit 102 and a combining unit 106 for combining the two-dimensional developed image enlarged by the developed image-enlarging part 104 with existing pattern memorized in the pattern data-memorizing unit 202.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
