ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes an image input unit, a feature point extraction unit which extracts a plurality of feature points from an input image, a three-dimensional model storage unit which stores a three-dimensional model and reference feature point coordinates on the three-dimensional model, a target area setting unit which sets target areas from the three-dimensional model, a correspondence relationship calculation unit which, using the extracted feature points and reference feature points belonging to the target areas, estimates a correspondence relationship between the input image and the target areas, and a three-dimensional model integration unit which integrates target areas related to the image.
