Abstract

A three-dimensional image display apparatus is provided that can integrate and visualize 3D measurement data obtained from a stereo image with an image of a measuring object to which stereoscopic texture is applied. The apparatus includes: an orientation section for finding relationship as to corresponding points in a stereo image of a measuring object; a three-dimensional coordinate data section for obtaining three-dimensional coordinate data on the corresponding points of the measuring object; a model forming section for forming a model of the measuring object based on the three-dimensional coordinate data on the corresponding points; an image correlating section for correlating the stereo image of the measuring object stored in the stereo image data storage section and the model formed by the model forming section; and a model display section for displaying an image of the measuring object to which stereoscopic texture is applied.
