摘要:
The steps of obtaining three-dimensional shape data representing a three-dimensional shape model, designating a portion required to be corrected of the three-dimensional shape model, displaying a surface to be joined to the designated portion, modifying a shape of the surface corresponding to a change of a designated parameter of the surface, and re-displaying the modified surface are provided. Filling of a lack portion of a part of the tree-dimensional shape model is achieved by an easy input operation.

A method and an apparatus are provided for merging two meshes whose density differs from each other so as to avoid unnatural appearance. A first mesh and a second mesh that differ from each other in density are merged by the following procedure. Edge length of a portion that becomes a boundary between the first and second meshes is determined, size of a first group of polygons including the edge of the portion is determined based on the determined length and size of a second group of polygons is adjusted so that an adjustment ratio is smaller as a distance between a position of each of the second group of polygons and the portion is greater, the first and second group of polygons being part of polygons structuring the first and second meshes, and the first and second meshes in each of which the polygons are adjusted are merged.

An object of the present invention is to automatically determine the orientation of a newly generated surface, etc. when performing such processing as filling a dropout portion of three dimensional shape data, and to generate more natural three dimensional shape data. The present invention provides a method for generating a grid-patterned surface in three dimensional shape data, and comprises a first step (#11) for detecting the orientation of a polygon in the three dimensional shape data that is located at a periphery of a surface to be fitted, a second step (#12) for determining the orientation of the surface so that a grid orientation of the surface matches the orientation of the detected polygon, and a third step (#13) for fitting the surface onto the three dimensional shape data while maintaining the thus determined orientation.

The invention provides a method for generating a three-dimensional model by modifying a standard model based on measured data without causing a topical improper modification. In the method, it is decided whether to further modify the standard model or to finish the modification of the standard model based on integrated evaluation of two or more functions selected from a first function relating to a distance between the standard model and the measured data, a second function relating to a distance between a characteristic point defined on the standard model and a characteristic point specified on the measured data and corresponding to the characteristic point defined on the standard model and a third function relating to a distance between an outline defined on the standard model and an outline specified on the measured data and corresponding to the outline on the standard model.

The present invention aims at realizing displaying of a realistic image of a conversation scene in which a speaker can be visually recognized by people watching this image regardless of the content of the image. To this end, according to the present invention, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional face model is deformed, and animations A1i through A3i which express a state in which a person is speaking are consequently created and displayed as auxiliary images.

The present invention provides a method for fitting a surface to a point group using computer. The method enables to prevent an improper modification or an erroneous modification even when the point group includes a point having a low reliability, thus to achieve proper modification. The method comprises a first step for judging reliability of each of points composing the point group and a second step for changing the method for fitting the surface to the point group based on the result of judgment of the first step. In the second step, the method for fitting is changed by varying weights of the points based on the reliabilities.

When volume data of a three-dimensional object to be processed is read and stored into a predetermined storage, first, a plurality of reference planes are set and a plurality of reference distance maps each indicative of distribution of distances between the three-dimensional object and each of the reference planes are generated. Next, when an actual projection plane onto which the three-dimensional object is projected in the volume rendering is set, two or more distance maps out of the plurality of reference distance maps are converted into two or more converted distance maps in accordance with a positional relation between two or more reference planes corresponding to the two or more distance maps and the actual projection plane, and integrating the resultants, thereby generating a distance map for visualization indicative of distribution of distances between the three-dimensional object and the actual projection plane.

An object of the present invention is to provide the technology capable of appropriately balancing the preciseness of contour extraction and calculation cost. In order to achieve this object, an energy function setting section sets an energy function that is expressed by a weighted linear sum of a plurality of kinds of energy terms defined correspondingly to a state of an active curve and is formulated so as to have a smaller value as approaching a shape of the contour to be extracted, and an iterative computation processing section minimizes the energy function by an iterative computation. An end instruction section sets an auxiliary function formulated so as to monotonously increase in accordance with the number of iteration times of iterative computation and sets a judging function expressed by a linear sum of the auxiliary function and the energy function. Then, a point of time when a local minimum appears in the judging function in the course of the iterative computation is judged as the end timing of iterative computing.
