The imaging apparatus generates a 3D image based on the 3D model from which the point determined as noise is removed.

Abstract: The matching processor acquires the key information such as position information and/or the like by the key information acquirer, and notifies to an external apparatus via the communicator. The matching processor stores the acquired key information in the storer corresponding to the identification information which is acquired from the external apparatus. When the acquired identification information does not exist in a AR data management table, the matching processor acquires the AR data by notifying the identification information to the external apparatus. When there is no empty record in a key information management table, key information of which usage date and time is old is considered as a deletion target. Moreover, when there is no empty record in the AR data management table, the AR data of which usage date and time is old is considered as the deletion target.

Abstract: The utility of a service using AR is improved. The information display apparatus which applies an information display according to augmented reality (AR) acquires a reference image for matching with a subject in a captured image and scale information which shows a scale of the subject in the reference image from an information provision apparatus. Then, an inputter-outputter of the information display apparatus displays the captured image as well as a distribution of the reference images by a scale of the subject. On this distribution display, a guide display according to the scale of the subject in the captured image is performed. This guide display moves on the distribution display corresponding to a change of an angle of view. Accordingly, it is easily set the angle of view by which the matching using the acquired reference image can be performed appropriately, and the convenience improves.

Abstract: In three-dimensional modeling apparatus, an image obtaining section obtains image sets picked up by stereoscopic camera. A generating section generates three-dimensional models. A three-dimensional model selecting section selects a first three-dimensional model and a second three-dimensional model to be superimposed on the first three-dimensional model among generated three-dimensional models. A extracting section extracts first and second feature points from the selected first and second three-dimensional model. A feature-point selecting section selects feature points having a closer distance to stereoscopic camera from the extracted first and second feature points. A parameter obtaining section obtains a transformation parameter for transforming a coordinate of the second three-dimensional model into a coordinate system of the first three-dimensional model. A transforming section transforms the coordinate of the second three-dimensional model into the coordinate system of the first three-dimensional model.

Abstract: A control part 210 sets up an exposure condition under which the bright part of the object is properly exposed and an exposure condition under which the dark part of the object is properly exposed. The control part 210 controls the first and second imaging part 110 and 120 to capture images with the set exposures, whereby a pair of images captured with different exposures is obtained. The control part 210 extracts corresponding points that are characteristic points corresponding between the image pairs. The control part 210 optimizes the extracted corresponding points based on the density of corresponding points between the images constituting an image pair captured with the same exposure and based on the pixel value of the corresponding points between the images captured with different exposures. The control part 210 creates 3D modeling data using the optimized corresponding points.

Abstract: A server sends to a client a message instructing movement of a display apparatus so that cameras comprising a view for creating a three-dimensional model can shoot a screen of a display apparatus. After movement is complete, the server causes an imaging parameter computation pattern image to be displayed on the screen of the display apparatus and instructs the client to cause the displayed pattern image to be shot by cameras. The server acquires images shot by the cameras from the client and seeks imaging parameters of the cameras on the basis of the pattern image included in the acquired images.

Abstract: An image pickup control unit displays either one of a picked-up image by a first image pickup unit and a picked-up image by a second image pickup unit on a display unit as a finder image. A feature detecting unit calculates a distribution of brightness values or brightness dispersion for each of the picked-up images by the first and second image pickup units, thereby detecting features of the two picked-up images. A sameness determining unit determines the sameness between both picked-up images based on the detected features, and determines that an abnormality like the unexpected appearance of an obstacle is present when the feature largely differs. When it is determined that an abnormality is present, a warning processing unit simultaneously displays both picked-up images on the display unit, or displays the picked-up image including the abnormality on the display unit as a finder image.
