  • Patent number: 10573090
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process including displaying a plurality of first edge lines extracted from a captured image including a structure captured by a camera and a plurality of second edge lines included in a three dimensional model corresponding to structure data of the structure, detecting a first operation that designates target first edge lines included in the plurality of first edge lines in a first order, detecting a second operation that designates target second edge lines included in the plurality of second edge lines in a second order, associating each of the target second edge lines with one of the target first edge lines based on the first order and the second order, and superimposing the three dimensional model with the structure in the captured image based on a result of the associating.

  • Patent number: 10311576
    Abstract: A computer extracts a plurality of candidate lines that are observed from a position of an imaging device that captures an image of an object from among a plurality of candidate lines included in shape information of the object. The computer generates plural pieces of association information indicating a prescribed number of combinations obtained by respectively associating the prescribed number of candidate lines of the observed plurality of candidate lines with the prescribed number of feature lines of a plurality of feature lines detected from the image. The computer determines an association result according to respective errors of the plural pieces of association information.

  • Patent number: 10304159
    Abstract: A computer displays a plurality of edge lines extracted from a shot image of a spatial structure that has been shot by an image shooting apparatus, and a plurality of ridge lines included in a model image represented by model information of the spatial structure, in a manner such that the edge lines and the ridge lines are selectable. Then, the computer accepts a selection instruction indicating an edge line and a ridge line of an overlay target. Finally, in accordance with the accepted selection instruction, the computer displays a superimposition image in which the model image has been superimposed onto the shot image in a manner such that the edge line and the ridge line of the overlay target overlap each other.
