Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, 2
A three-dimensional simulation apparatus as shown in FIG. 1, which pastes two-dimensional image information onto a virtual three-dimensional object and simulates the original character represented by the two-dimensional image information as a three-dimensional character in a virtual space. It is.

The three-dimensional simulation apparatus is a specific example of hardware that executes the image processing method according to the present invention in each corresponding block (section).
This is also a specific example of the image processing apparatus according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, two-dimensional image information taken by, for example, a digital still camera is taken in from an input terminal 11 by an image taking part 12 through, for example, RS-232 communication. The two-dimensional image information captured by the image capturing unit 12 is sent to the processing and correcting unit 13. The processing and correcting unit 13 cuts out a predetermined range of two-dimensional image information from the two-dimensional image information and sends it to the character registration unit 14. The character registration unit 14 pastes the two-dimensional image information in the predetermined range on a virtual three-dimensional object. The virtual three-dimensional object to which the two-dimensional image information of the predetermined range is pasted by the character registration unit 14 is stored in the recording control unit 15 and the character selection unit 1.
7 The recording control unit 15 records the virtual three-dimensional object on the memory card 16. The character selection unit 17 allows the user to select the virtual three-dimensional object. This selection may be made by comparison with another virtual three-dimensional object previously recorded on the memory card 16. The virtual three-dimensional object selected by the character selection unit 17 is sent to the simulation execution unit 18. The simulation executing unit 18 executes a simulation in the virtual space using the virtual three-dimensional object.

The image capturing unit 12 communicates with a solid-state recording medium that stores two-dimensional image information, other than communication with an imaging device such as a digital still camera, or other three-dimensional simulation device or three-dimensional simulation. It also communicates with the recording medium in the device.

The processing and correcting unit 13 uses the two-dimensional image information captured by the image capturing unit 12 to create a frame for specifying a cutout range provided with a gauge provided corresponding to the characteristic position of the virtual three-dimensional object. Using this, two-dimensional image information in a predetermined range is cut out.

The manner in which the processing and correcting unit 13 cuts out a predetermined range of human faces from the two-dimensional image information will be described below with reference to FIG.

First, an image of a human face is cut out from a processed image 20 using a rectangular frame 21 from the two-dimensional image information taken into the three-dimensional simulation device by the image taking unit 12. At this time, the user moves, enlarges, reduces, and rotates the frame 21 so that the eye gauges 23 and 24, the nose gauge 25, and the mouth gauge 26 match the eyes, nose, and mouth, which are features of the face. Therefore, the user can easily and with high quality specify a two-dimensional image of the face corresponding to the virtual three-dimensional object.

(iew), by checking the appearance when the image information in the current frame 21 is pasted on the virtual three-dimensional object, an image to be pasted on the virtual three-dimensional object can be designated with higher quality.

The frame 21 may have any shape other than a rectangle, such as an ellipse. In addition, the gauge may assume any part that is a feature of the virtual three-dimensional object to be pasted, other than the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The processing and correcting section 13 performs image signal processing on the two-dimensional image information cut out using the frame 21.
Specifically, contour correction may be performed. Further, the aspect ratio may be changed. Moreover, you may rotate.

Further, the processing and correcting unit 13 uses the gauges representing the characteristic points attached to the frame 21 as clues to convert the original image 30 into a composite image 31 of a crying expression and a smiling expression, as shown in FIG. , A composite image 33 of an angry expression and a composite image 34 of a surprised expression can be easily generated. Hereinafter, a method of generating an image of each expression will be described in detail.

The feature points attached to the frame 35 represent eyes, mouth, and nose, respectively. The area near the eye gauge is cut into rectangular areas 36 ₀ and 37 ₀ , and the rectangular area 3
6 _0, 37 so as to recess the central portion of the ₀ performs linear deformation 36 _1, 37 ₁ of rectangular → parallelogram pasted on the original image. Similarly vicinity of mouth cut in the rectangular area 38 _0, placed over the original image by performing a linear deformation 38 ₁ rectangular → trapezoid to lower the two ends of the rectangle. With this, a composite image 31 of the expression of crying is completed.

Next, the generation of a composite image 32 of a smiling expression will be described with reference to FIG. The feature points attached to the frame 40 represent eyes, mouth, and nose, respectively. Near the eye gauge is a rectangular area 4
10 ₀ , 42 ₀ , and rectangular → trapezoidal linear transformation 41 ₁ , so that the ends of the rectangular areas 41 ₀ , 42 ₀ are pulled down.
42. Perform ₁ and paste on the original image. Similarly vicinity of mouth cut in the rectangular area 43 _0, placed over the original image by performing a linear deformation 43 ₁ rectangular → trapezoid to lift the ends of the rectangle. Thus, a composite image 32 of the smiling expression is completed.

Next, the generation of a composite image 33 of an angry expression will be described with reference to FIG. The feature points attached to the frame 45 represent eyes, mouth, and nose, respectively. Near the eye gauge is a rectangular area 4
6 _0, 47 cut to _0, the rectangular area 46 _0, 47 linear deformation 46 ₁ rectangular → trapezoid as lifting eye area _0,
47 ₁ perform the paste to the original image. Similarly vicinity of mouth cut in the rectangular area 48 _0, placed over the original image by performing a linear deformation 48 ₁ rectangular → trapezoid to lower the two ends of the rectangle. From the image made by this, the part of both eyes 4
9 is cut into a rectangle, and reduced vertically 50 to cover the previous image. Thus, a composite image 33 of an angry expression is completed.

Next, generation of a composite image 34 of a surprised expression will be described with reference to FIG. The feature points attached to the frame 52 represent eyes, mouth, and nose, respectively. Near the eye gauge is a rectangular area 5
3 _0, 54 cut to _0, pasted on the original image by the enlarged rectangular area 53 _0, 54 ₀ vertically 53 _1, 54 _1. Similarly vicinity of mouth cut in the rectangular region 55 ₀ is put on the original image is enlarged 55 ₁ the rectangle vertically. Thus, a composite image 34 of a surprised expression is completed.

The processing and correction section 13 may simply cut out one face image of one person according to the gauge, namely, five images of normal, laugh, angry, cry, and surprise. Of course, as described above, simply generating each composite image does not put an extra burden on the user. Above, processing &
The image cutout processing, the image signal processing, and the simplified synthetic image generation processing by the correction unit 13 have been described.
