IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18366980 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 in an image capturing space is obtained.
- Multiple distance images, each representing a distance to the object from different viewpoints, are obtained.
- Correction is applied to the three-dimensional shape data based on the distance images.
- Unit elements that do not represent the shape of the object are deleted from the three-dimensional shape data.
- Potential Applications
- 3D scanning and modeling
- Quality control in manufacturing
- Virtual reality and augmented reality
- Problems Solved
- Improving accuracy of three-dimensional shape data
- Enhancing object recognition and analysis
- Streamlining data processing in image capturing
- Benefits
- Higher precision in shape data
- Improved object visualization
- Enhanced virtual experiences
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 existing in an image capturing space is obtained. Further, a plurality of distance images each representing a distance to the object and corresponding to a plurality of viewpoints is obtained. Then, correction to evaluate the three-dimensional shape data based on the plurality of distance images and based on results of the evaluation, delete a unit element estimated not to represent a shape of the object among unit elements configuring the three-dimensional shape data is performed.
