Abstract
An image production processing apparatus includes an input visual point image storage portion for storing body images obtained by taking pictures of a body from a plurality of visual points so that each of the body images corresponds to one of the plurality of visual points, an input feature point storage portion for storing positions of feature points, corresponding to each other, on the body images stored in the input visual point image storage portion, an input visual point storage portion for storing positions of the visual points from which the pictures of the body are taken to obtain the body images stored in the input visual point image storage portion, a visual point selecting portion for selecting a predetermined number of visual points from among the visual points stored in the input visual point storage portion when a visual point is specified, and an image producing portion for producing an body image from the specified visual point from the body images from the selected visual points, based on relationships between feature points on the body images from the selected visual points which feature points are obtained from the input feature point storage portion and relatio…
