DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image creation technique using an image description system which enables efficient creation and use of an image. In the description of the present invention, a video and an image are not particularly distinguished from each other, but are both described as a video.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a new video is generated by using a plurality of component videos, only the completed generated video is stored. Procedures were not saved either.

[0003]

For this reason, in the above-described conventional video generation, it is difficult to reuse the component video and reproduce the procedure leading to the generation based on the generated completed video. There was a problem.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and to provide a video creating method capable of storing and reproducing a combination procedure of a component video until completion and reusing a component video. It is in.

A video is represented using a video description structure consisting of:

[0006] In the above-described video creating method, a plurality of 2
Assigning a unique identifier to a three-dimensional part image and using the two-dimensional part image in common from a plurality of video description structures using the identifier a plurality of times is to avoid duplication of storage of the part image. It is suitable.

[0007] In the above-described video creating method, a plurality of two-dimensional part images are stored in a form of a database that can be used jointly, and the two-dimensional part images are used via a network. This is preferable in that the duplication of memories can be further avoided and the use of component images can be promoted.

In the above-described video creating method, the video description structure itself is stored in the form of a jointly usable database, and the video description structure is used via a network. This is advantageous in that duplication can be avoided, use of the component video can be promoted, and use of the component video combination procedure can be promoted.

[0009] Further, in the above-mentioned video creating method,
It is preferable to use the video description structure for expressing a moving image composed of a plurality of video frames, since the above-described video generation method can be applied to a moving image.

According to the present invention, a video is represented by using a video description structure composed of an aggregate of a plurality of two-dimensional component images required for creating a video and a combination procedure thereof, thereby obtaining the two-dimensional component video. , And the procedure leading to the generation of the video can be reproduced using the combined procedure.
