Abstract

Disclosed herein is a 3D model shape transformation apparatus. The 3D model shape transformation apparatus includes a camera unit, a shape restoration unit, a skeleton structure generation unit, and a skeleton transformation unit. The camera unit obtains a plurality of 2D images in a single frame by capturing the shape of an object. The shape restoration unit generates a 3D volume model by restoring the shape of the object based on the plurality of 2D images. The skeleton structure generation unit generates the skeleton structure of the 3D volume model. The skeleton transformation unit transforms the size and posture of the 3D volume model into those of a template model by matching the skeleton structure of the template model with the skeleton structure of the 3D volume model.
