Abstract

A texture mapping method projects a specified texture picture onto the surface of an object in another specified picture. Three-dimensional data on the surface shape of the object to be projected is not known previously. The three-dimensional data on the surface shape of the object is estimated on the basis of the data in the objective picture to attain the texture mapping.
