ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating a synthetic image wherein a specific object region is extracted, a three-dimensional shape information is extracted, and a video image and a CG image are drawn compoundly. A three dimensional shape information to the specific object region called a video image object, and the video object is be synthesized with CG images is created and stored on a hard disk. By using this data, a synthetic image is generated in non-real time fashion.
