ABSTRACT:
A moving picture processing apparatus comprises an image capture unit for taking in time-series images (moving picture series) of a target object, a feature point extraction unit for extracting feature points constituting the surface of the object whose model is to be made, a three-dimensional position information extraction unit for finding three-dimensional position information on the feature points by correlating the feature points contained in the image at a point in time with those at another point in time in the time-series images and analyzing positional coordinate information on the correlated feature points, a three-dimensional patch group generating unit for generating three-dimensional patch groups constituting the surface of the target object on the basis of the feature points for which the three-dimensional position information has been found and supplying the three-dimensional patch groups as information on a model of the target object to an output section.
