DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a three-dimensional object generating device in which even a nonexpert can easily generate a three-dimensional object. SOLUTION: A target object B made of materials different in color for every component is irradiated with near infrared light from a light emitting light source 11, an image sensor 13 acquires a reflected light image, and the image sensor 13 also acquires a color image. A reflected light image dividing part divides the reflected light image on the basis of color information obtained from the color image. Reflection characteristic information showing the reflection characteristic of the materials of the target object is stored in a reflection characteristic information storing part 5. A three- dimensional information acquiring part 4 acquires three-dimensional information of the target object B on the basis of the reflection characteristic information and the reflected light image. The acquired three-dimensional information is once stored in a three-dimensional information storage part 6. Color information of the target object B and its attributes are stored to be made correspond to each other in an attribute information storage part. An attribute information impartation part 8 imparts the attribute information to the three-dimensional information to generate the three- dimensional object imparted with the attribute information.
