THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, THREE- DIMENSIONAL MODELING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM WITH RECORDED THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the generation of model data easy as compared with a conventional polygon data, to reduce the amount of model data, and to obtain an image with high reality.;SOLUTION: To compose a display image from a desirable viewpoint by using (n) images Pk (1≤k≤n) obtained by photographing a display object in different directions, photography information Ik (1≤k≤n) including at least information on the photography directions, and information showing the outline shape S of the display object body, the photographed image Pj whose photography direction is closest to the desirable viewpoint direction is selected out of the images Pk and projected on the surface of the outline shape S while the viewpoint is set to the photography position of the photographed image. Then the projected outline shape is perspectively projected on a screen from the desirable viewpoint to obtain a display image.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
