<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate an asset for a simulated environment using digital image capture. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes receiving a digital image at the step 202, locating an object in the digital image at the step 204, and automatically digitally tracing the outline of the object in the digital image at the step 206, to generate data representing a two-dimensional polygon that encompasses the object without relying on further input from a user to trace the outline. At the step 208, a portion of an image bounded by the two-dimensional polygon is separated from a remaining portion of the digital image. At the step 210, the portion of the image bounded by the two-dimensional polygon is associated with an asset in the simulated environment. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
