Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1063614A2] Seed matches are found between a plurality of images of a common object. The present invention simplifies the implementation of the morphing process. The present invention is a seed finding unit comprising a feature point detection unit for detecting feature points from said plurality of images; a correlation calculating unit for calculating the correlation between the feature points in said plurality of images and for calculating combinations of said feature points; a matching unit for removing combinations of said feature points that have low probability based on the condition of an image seen from a plurality of viewpoints; a camera orientation determining unit for determining the position of said plurality of viewpoints and the direction of viewing rays; a match propagation unit for selecting those combinations of said feature points that are geometrically and statistically highly reliable under the geometrical constraints of the viewing rays, and for adjusting the analysis range of the images of said object. By using the constraints of the viewpoint position and direction of viewing rays, seed match finding with high precision is possible. <IMAGE>
