METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAPTURING AND DISPLAYING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SCENE

摘要

In a method of grasping a three dimensional scenery a two-dimensional image of the scenery and three-dimensional coordinates of a plurality of points on the surface of the scenery are taken and stored. Data from the image data are allocated to the coordinate data or to data derived from said coordinate data. An apparatus for grasping a three dimensional scenery comprises means (21) for taking a two dimensional image (2) of the scenery, means (22) for taking three-dimensional coordinates of a plurality of points P1, ... Pn ... on the surface of the scenery, and means (23) for allocating data from the image data to the coordinate data or to data derived from said coordinate data.
