ABSTRACT:
In reproducing an object from a plurality of geometric models representing the shape of the object as viewed from different directions around an axis, each of the models is rotated about an axis specified by axis data, a region of each of the models overlapping another one of the models is extracted, and the degree of displacement in the entire set of the models is calculated. This operation is repeated to output a set of the geometric models as rotated about the axis when the degree of displacement is minimum. In this way, a group of items of shape data is obtained which represents a plurality of geometric models corresponding to one object and matched in position with high accuracy.
