Abstract: This invention intends to produce a model natural to see in which visual characteristics of an object are reflected upon its form. This invention provides with a modifying unit for modifying at least a part of 3-dimensional form data based on 2-dimensional image data obtained by photographing the object. The modifying unit extracts a specified area from the 2-dimensional image data according to a setting condition and modifies a part of the 3-dimensional form data corresponding to that specified area. According to the modified 3-dimensional form data, a model is produced. As an object for photographing, for example, the head of the human being is used. In this case, the specified area corresponds to at least one of the hair, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, irises and lips.

Abstract: A metallic sliding cover that covers an image taking lens system when an image taking apparatus is not in use is attached at the front side of the image taking apparatus, and an IC tag of a type that has an internal power supply and an IC tag of a type that has not an internal power supply are stuck to the front side of the image taking apparatus. A plural number of IC tags are alternatively covered with the sliding cover by movement of the cover. Thereby, communication only by one IC tag becomes possible when the image taking apparatus is in use; meanwhile, communication only by the other IC tag becomes possible when the image taking apparatus is not in use. As a result, interference between a plurality of IC tags having mutually different characteristics can be prevented.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus receives subject information stored in an IC tag provided for a subject by performing radio communication with the IC tag, and controls an image capturing operation on the basis of the acquired subject information. For example, the image capturing apparatus sets a color correction parameter and controls white balance on the basis of information on colors of the subject included in the subject information stored in the IC tag.

Abstract: In a 3-D shape data processing device for producing 3-D shape data from color image data and range image data, a virtual plane is defined at the rear of a range image, and a color image is projected onto the virtual plane. A human figure region rectangle is defined as a rectangle which surrounds a human figure region on the virtual plane, and the range image and the virtual plane are sliced along cutting planes. A line connects an outermost point of measurement and a point at the end of the human figure region rectangle which lie on each of the cutting planes, and a point at the end of the human figure region on the line is defined as a reference point. A region lying between the reference point and the outermost point of measurement is defined as a no-data region, and an additional point is produced in the no-data region. Thus, the device can easily complement the range image data, thereby to easily produce the 3-D shape data based on the range image data.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to achieve an image-pickup device which, when the user picks up an image of a subject using the image-pickup device, makes it possible to reduce a failure relating to framing techniques and image-pickup techniques. Guide information relating to framing techniques or image-pickup techniques is preliminarily stored in the image-pickup device, and during an image-pickup mode, guide information suitable for the subject is displayed for the user. The guide information includes sample images, GS, etc., and the user is allowed to carry out framing by reference to this displayed image at the time of picking up an image; thus, it becomes possible to reduce a failure in picking up an image.

Abstract: When the IC tag starts communication with an external device, which one of an image capturing mode and a playback mode is selected is determined. In the case where it is determined that the image capturing mode is selected, the IC tag is covered with a slide cover to thereby prohibit the IC tag from communicating with the external device. Since the radio communication with the external device of the IC tag becomes impossible by the prohibition, an influence of an electric wave of radio communication exerted on a captured image at the time of image capturing can be avoided.
