ABSTRACT:
A modelling method, a modelling system and a computer memory product create a three-dimensional model of an object in a computer screen. A two-dimensional image and an existing model are positioned within a virtual three-dimensional space. The two-dimensional image corresponds to a three-dimensional object and the existing model corresponds to the two-dimensional image. The existing model is then corrected so that the image of the three-dimensional object represented in the two-dimensional image is in accordance with a projection image of the existing model. This creates a first model from a first portion of the three-dimensional object and a second model from a second portion of the three-dimensional object. The first model and the second model are then combined and projected into the two-dimensional image with no change in their respective positions.
