ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, an image processing apparatus, that can effectively generate a polygon model approximating a shape of an object by a plurality of polygon patches, includes: an input portion for inputting three-dimensional data of the object of the input points; a storage portion for storing coordinate values of the input points input by the input portion; an update portion for updating three-dimensional coordinate values of a plurality of lattice points of the polygon model so as to reflect a distribution density of the input points, the lattice points being arranged to form lattices on a two-dimensional plane; and an output portion for outputting, as the polygon patches of the polygon model, the three-dimensional coordinate values of the lattice points updated by the update portion and a relationship of connections between the lattice points in the lattices.
