VIDEO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND VIDEO COMMUNICATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a video communication system, capable of making an expression of an interactive opposition party in a video more realistic to a user.SOLUTION: A video communication system includes: image acquisition means for photographing a two-dimensional image involving an imaging side person and a space other than the person; distance image acquisition means for acquiring a distance image involving the imaging side person and the space other than the person; three-dimensional model production means for producing three-dimensional model data for an imaging side space corresponding to the two-dimensional image on the basis of the distance image; three-dimensional image production means for producing a three-dimensional image of the imaging side space by pasting the two-dimensional image as a texture onto the surface of the three-dimensional model defined by the three-dimensional model data acquired from the three-dimensional model production means; viewpoint detection means for detecting a viewpoint position of a displaying side person; image conversion means for converting the three-dimensional image to the two-dimensional image subject to the viewpoint position; and display means for displaying the two-dimensional image converted by the display side display device.
