Three-dimensional geometric model generation method, apparatus and record
medium for generating a three-dimensional geometric model indicating
visual information of a three-dimensional body, comprising:
simultaneously radiating light against a predetermined plane of the
three-dimensional body from a frontal direction, a left and lower
direction, and a right and lower direction of the above predetermined
plane to uniformly illuminate the predetermined plane; photographing a
predetermined plane of the three-dimensional body, to which the light was
radiated, at least from one direction to acquire an image of the
predetermined plane of the three-dimensional body having neither a shadow
nor shading; and based on three-dimensional shape data indicating a
three-dimensional shape of a predetermined plane of the three-dimensional
body, and the image that was photographed, by acquiring a brightness
value at each point of the three-dimensional shape of the
three-dimensional body as the visual information, generating the
three-dimensional geometric model of the three-dimensional body.
