  • Patent number: 8437508
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus, comprising: an obtaining unit which obtains video data captured by an image capturing apparatus disposed in a monitored space, location information regarding a location of a moving object in the monitored space, and existence information regarding a capturing period of the moving object in the video data; and a display processing unit which processes a display of a trajectory of the moving object in the monitored space based on the location information, the display processing unit processing a display of the trajectory so that the portion of the trajectory that corresponds to the capturing period is distinguishable from the other portions of the trajectory, based on the existence information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6400364
    Abstract: A three-dimensional image processing apparatus in which a three-dimensionally shaped model, a viewpoint (a camera) and a screen are set in a virtual the apparatus detects a two-dimensional position of a viewpoint of an operator and moves the screen according to the detected viewpoint position to map the three-dimensional shape of the model over the screen as viewed from the detected viewpoint position.

  • Patent number: 6130672
    Abstract: In a viewpoint detector instructions for a virtual 3-dimensional space are processed by an image processor. A virtual 3-dimensional spatial image is displayed in a field of view, and a viewpoint position of an operator in the field of view is detected. The 3-dimensional spatial image is displayed, and an image process for changing the image in accordance with the detected viewpoint position and an observation time is executed.

  • Patent number: 5687307
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which enables three-dimensional modeling and a full variety of computer graphic animation. For this purpose, the apparatus inputs three-dimensional data of a plurality of objects, and independently sets texture animation state values and change amounts for the respective objects. As texture animation is started, display of each object changes in a real-time manner from the initial display state in accordance with a change amount.
