PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically generate a portrait by approximating input data with Bezier curves or the like and emphasizing differences from reference data. SOLUTION: A means 102 which inputs a picture, a means 105 which normalizes the inputted picture, a means 106 which extracts the outline or edges of the picture, a means 107 which approximates the extracted picture with curves, a storage means 110 where one or more reference curve data are stored, a means 112 which selects fundamental data, a means 108 which compares approximated curves with selected fundamental data, a means 113 which deforms approximated curves in accordance with the comparison result, and a means 114 which outputs deformed curves are provided. |
