Following to the mapping condition which in order mapping to do

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mapping device, a mapping method and a program thereof capable of performing realistic mapping of objects such as a mannequin and a human body in a base image even when the objects are looking diagonally while fixing correspondence of a central part of a mapping image and a central part of the base image to which mapping is performed, and capable of easily inputting mapping conditions.;SOLUTION: A center line and lines on both sides are inputted in the base image to which a texture image is mapped. Inputting is carried out with the position nearest to the observing point as the nearest point in the base image. The right side of the nearest point of a body is approximated with a quarter circle, and the left side is approximated with another quarter circle, generating an elliptic arc showing a shape in the horizontal cross section of the body. The texture image is mapped on the body using the elliptic arc. By this arrangement, mapping of a texture or the like on the body can be effected easily.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
