SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA TO A THREE-DIMENSIONAL FACETED MODEL

摘要

A method for mapping a two-dimensional image data onto a three-dimensional graphic model of an object includes taking a plurality of two-dimensional images of the object. Each two-dimensional image has data, such as temperature data, which is desired to be represented on the three-dimensional graphic model. The three- dimensional model of the object is viewed on a graphic user interface. The three- dimensional model has a plurality of facets, each facet being configured for selectively receiving the data from the two-dimensional images, so that the two-dimensional images are mapped onto the facets of the three-dimensional model. The three- dimensional model can then be analyzed.
