Abstract: An automatic three-dimensional structure shape generation apparatus for automatically generating the shape of a three-dimensional structure from a plurality of points having three-dimensional coordinates containing height information includes means for constituting a point group by collecting points such that three-dimensional distances between the points are within a predetermined threshold or two-dimensional distances and height differences between the points are within predetermined thresholds, means for detecting a polygon that includes the points of the point group at a minimum area from at least one of a plurality of predetermined polygons, and means for generating an outer shape or a rooftop shape of the three-dimensional structure from the polygon having the minimum area.
Abstract: A virtual-space shift control apparatus includes a detecting element that detects a touch operation or a drag operation of a pointing device having a plurality of pointing clements, performed on a display screen and a viewpoint-position information generator that generates viewpoint position information of a virtual space image based on the detected touch or drag operation of the detecting element. A three-dimensional image generator is provided that generates data on the virtual space image seen from a viewpoint indicated by the viewpoint position information and outputting a three dimensional image to the display.
