Abstract
To generate texture data for a 3D computer model 150 of a real-life object 210, images 300–316 of the subject object are recorded from different viewing positions and directions. The image data is processed by an image processing apparatus 2 to register the viewing positions and directions of the images 300–316 based on the positions of features in the images. The 3D computer model 150 of the subject object is registered with the resulting registered set of images, and texture data is generated for the 3D computer model from the images.
