METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA PROCESSING RECOGNIZING AN OBJECT REPRESENTED AS TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE

In order to generate a three-dimensional shape model corresponding to a two-dimensional image easily, a data processing apparatus includes a three-dimensional shape generating section and a texture image generating section generating a three-dimensional shape and a texture image, respectively, upon application of a model parameter, a two-dimensional image input section receiving an input two-dimensional image, a modulating section for modulating the input two-dimensional image to the three-dimensional shape, and a parameter transforming section calculating a parameter of the modulated two-dimensional image and applying the calculated parameter to the three-dimensional shape generating section and to the texture image generating section.
