Abstract

This program is for processing illustration data having a layer structure in which image elements for forming a display image of an illustration are separated into a plurality of layers. The program causes a computer to execute: an acquisition process for acquiring illustration data to be processed; a setting process for setting a target region in a display image of the illustration data acquired in the acquisition process; a selection process for selecting two or more layers as target layers from the plurality of layers; and a generation process for, with respect to the target layers selected in the selection process, generating image elements of the target region on the basis of image elements outside the target region. The generation process includes: a first generation process for generating, on the basis of an integrated image generated by integrating the image elements of the target layers, the image elements of the target region as a reference image; and a second generation process for generating, for each target layer, the image elements of the target region corresponding to the target layer, on the basis of the reference image and the image elements outside the target region of the target layer.

Abstract

A method edits illustration data having a layer structure in which image elements for forming an image of an illustration are separated into a plurality of layers. The method obtains the illustration data, sets a target region inside the illustration data, selects two or more target layers from among the plurality of layers, and for the target layers, generates image elements in the target region based on image elements outside the target region. The generation includes generating the image elements in the target region as a reference image based on an integrated image integrating image elements in the target layers, and for each of the target layers, generating the image element in the target region corresponding to the target layer based on the reference image and the image element outside the target region in the target layer.

Abstract

A method obtains textures indicating a common texture expression, the textures including a reference texture having a reference length, and each of the textures having a different length. The method selects at least one of the textures depending on a length of a line segment, and draws the line segment by arranging the selected at least one texture. If the length of the line segment is changed, a second texture corresponding to the changed length is selected instead of a first texture selected before the change, and in a case where the second texture is a texture having a length that is a predetermined integer multiple of the reference length, a group of the reference textures including the same number of reference textures as the predetermined integer is selected instead of the second texture.

Abstract

An inference model construction method obtains a distribution of control points pertaining to a reference state and a distribution of the control points pertaining to a defined state with respect to a defined representation model. The method extracts a first feature value based on the distribution of the control points pertaining to the reference state. The method machine-learns the distribution of the control points pertaining to the defined state while using, as a label, the first feature value, and constructs an inference model based on a result of the leaning performed with respect to a plurality of the defined representation models.

Abstract

This inference model construction method is for, regarding an expression model for deforming each part in a two-dimensional image corresponding to a reference state of a target object so as to realize a drawing expression corresponding to a state different from the reference state of the target object, causing a computer to construct an inference model for inferring deformation of each of the parts in the two-dimensional image in a definition state different from the reference state. The expression model becomes defined when deformation of each of the parts in the two-dimensional image in at least one definition state is defined, and is configured to be able to at least realize a drawing expression corresponding to at least a state between the reference state and the definition state. The deformation of each of the parts in the expression model is controlled depending on the mode of distribution of the control points set for the parts. The inference model construction method includes: an acquisition step for acquiring distributions of control points regarding a reference state and a definition state in relation to a defined expression model; an extraction step for extracting a first feature quantity on the basis of the distribution of the control points in the reference state acquired in the acquisition step; and a learning step for performing machine learning of the distribution of the control points in the definition state acquired in the acquisition step with use of, as a label, the first feature quantity extracted in the extraction step and constructing an inference model on the basis of learning results obtained from a plurality of the defined expression models.

Abstract

Provided is a program for causing a computer to execute, for a render object which implements a three-dimensional expression using a group of parts each constituted by a two-dimensional image: a process of determining a reference render direction in which the object is to be rendered on the basis of information for a reference point for establishing a reference placement position of the object in a three-dimensional space and viewpoint information indicating a viewpoint at which the rendering is carried out; a process of changing the state of each of the parts constituting the render object according to the determined reference render direction; a process of placing the render object in the three-dimensional space by applying the two-dimensional images of each of the parts of the render object having been changed to a planar object having a plane perpendicular to the reference render direction; and a process of rendering the render object placed in the three-dimensional space on the basis of the viewpoint information. In the process of changing the states of the parts, if a part which satisfies a prescribed condition is included among the parts constituting the render object, the program changes the state of the part satisfying the prescribed condition to a state that conforms to a render direction other than the reference render direction.

Abstract

This program causes a computer to execute the following processing: determining a drawing direction, in which a first-type drawing object to implement a three-dimensional expression using part groups each constituted by two-dimensional images is drawn, on the basis of an arrangement position of the object in a three-dimensional space and viewpoint information indicating a viewpoint from which the drawing is performed; changing shapes and depth orders of respective parts constituting the first-type drawing object in accordance with the determined drawing direction; arranging the first-type drawing object in the three-dimensional space by applying the two-dimensional images of respective changed parts constituting the first-type drawing object to a flat object having a plane that is orthogonal to a depth direction from the viewpoint toward the arrangement position of the first-type drawing object; and drawing the first-type drawing object arranged in the three-dimensional space. The program deforms the flat object to which the two-dimensional images of the parts are applied on the basis of undulation information that is associated with at least a part of parts constituting the first-type drawing object and includes positional information in the three-dimensional space.

Abstract

An information processing device acquires information indicating an angle related to the viewing direction for a first viewing direction, a second viewing direction, a third viewing direction, and an output viewing direction. On the basis of a curve that has been predetermined as a reference for the rotation of an object in question, being a curve the points of which, on lines corresponding to the angles related to the viewing directions, are fixed, the device then derives a degree of influence of a rendered image of the object in question for the first viewing direction, the second viewing direction, and the third viewing direction, on a rendered image of the object in question for the output viewing direction.

Abstract

An information processing apparatus generates rendered images associated with 3D representations of an object indicated by image groups each including a plurality of parts of 2D images by using the image group to perform at least one of movement and deformation of each part included in the image groups. At this time, the apparatus sequentially decides rendering directions in which the object is rendered in the rendered images, and determines a moving direction determined by transition of the sequentially decided rendering directions. The apparatus differentiates the rendering direction, in which at least some parts of the image groups used to generate the rendered images are changed to different parts, in accordance with the determined moving direction.

Abstract

A storage (240) of an image processing device (100) stores a background image (2410) and a first image (2420) and a second image (2430) that are foreground images with respect to the background image (2410), and a first basic mask image (the first basic mask image (2450) formed from pixels having a pixel value of ‘1’ indicating opacity and pixels having a pixel value of ‘0’ indicating transparence. An acquirer (250) acquires each of these images. An image generator (220) generates a first intermediate image by compositing the first image (2420) onto the background image (2410) only in pixels that are in the same positions as the pixels in the first basic mask image (2450) having the pixel value of ‘1’. The image generator (220) then generates a first composite image by overwriting the second image (2430) onto the first intermediate image only in the pixels that are in the same positions as the pixels in the first basic mask image (2450) having the pixel value of ‘1’.

Abstract

Upon acquiring a two-dimensional image for which depth information is to be defined, the information processing device accepts the input of point information specifying two points on the image and line segment information indicating a first line segment serving as a depth reference. Next, the device sets depth information based on the first line segment indicated by the line segment information to points on a second line segment that connects the two points of the two-dimensional image indicated by the point information.

Abstract

An information processing device of the present invention generates a drawing image pertaining to a three-dimensional expression of an object indicated by an image group that includes a plurality of two-dimensional image parts, by using the image group and moving and/or transforming the parts included in the image group. The device sequentially determines drawing directions for drawing the object in the drawing image, and determines a moving direction that is determined by the trend of sequentially determined drawing directions. The device then varies, according to the determined moving direction, the drawing direction in which at least some parts of the image group to be used in generating a drawing image are changed to different parts.
