ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for representing a three-dimensional shape model by polygons according to a plurality of object images information obtained by rotating a real object arbitrary angles to assign texture information on each polygon. The texture information is assigned according to the amount of texture information for a particular polygon. Various criteria are disclosed as factors in determining the amount of texture information.
