Abstract
Multi-dimensional texture mapping apparatus includes compression unit configured to compress texture image data including texture images by sampling the texture images in accordance with feature of material, the texture images acquired or created under different conditions, converter to convert the compressed texture image data into first multi-dimensional texture, the first multi-dimensional texture including a codebook and index images containing index information indicating addresses assigned to data of the codebook, the codebook storing image data extracted from same pixels in the texture images and collected, generation unit configured to generate second multi-dimensional texture of a size based on the first multi-dimensional texture, and mapping unit configured to map texture samples selected from the second multi-dimensional texture in accordance with the different conditions, based on a three-dimensional model data which specifies shape of an object mapped the texture samples.
