IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366966 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for obtaining high-accuracy three-dimensional shape data from approximate shape data of an object.
- Three-dimensional shape data of an object is captured from multiple images taken from different viewpoints.
- Surface three-dimensional information of the object is derived from the captured images.
- The derived surface three-dimensional information is selected based on its distance from the shape surface represented by the initial three-dimensional shape data.
---
- Potential Applications
- 3D scanning and modeling for manufacturing and prototyping
- Medical imaging for precise anatomical measurements
- Virtual reality and augmented reality applications for realistic object rendering
- Problems Solved
- Improving accuracy of three-dimensional shape data
- Enhancing visualization and analysis of complex objects
- Streamlining the process of generating detailed 3D models
- Benefits
- Higher accuracy in three-dimensional shape data
- Improved quality of 3D models for various applications
- Enhanced efficiency in capturing and processing object shapes
Original Abstract Submitted
An object is to obtain three-dimensional shape data with high accuracy from three-dimensional shape data representing an approximate shape of an object. Three-dimensional shape data of an object captured in a plurality of captured images whose viewpoints are different is obtained. Further, surface three-dimensional information on the object is derived based on the plurality of captured images. Then, the derived surface three-dimensional information is selected based on a distance from the shape surface of the object represented by the three-dimensional shape data.
