  • Pseudo 3-D space representation system, pseudo 3-D space constructing system, game system and electronic map providing system
    Patent number: 6972757
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pseudo 3-D space representation system capable of creating a cubic pseudo 3-D space with a plurality of 2-D images by simple operation. An operation display means displays plural images to a user who is requested to specify a same area on each of two or more images by using an area specifying means. A specified area associating means associates the specified area on one image with the specified area on the other image as one set or plural sets of common parts. An image transforming means transforms one or both images by matching the specified areas by affine transformation and an image display means displays both images as superposed on one the other.
