Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method includes acquiring a first image including a specific object and captured at an imaging position, generating first three-dimensional information based on a first shape of the specific object, the first three-dimensional information corresponding to the imaging position, generating second three-dimensional information based on a specific depth value and a designated position on the first image, generating first line information based on the first and the second three-dimensional information, acquiring a second image including the specific object and captured at another imaging position, generating third three-dimensional information based on a second shape of the specific object, the third three-dimensional information corresponding to the another imaging position, generating second line information based on the second and the third three-dimensional information, generating a fourth three-dimensional information based on the first and the second line information, and storing the fourth three-dimensional information associated with a content.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A position identification method to be executed by circuitry, comprising: acquiring a first image including a specific object, the first image being captured by an image capturing device at an imaging position; generating first three-dimensional information based on a first shape of the specific object in the first image, the first three-dimensional information corresponding to the imaging position with respect to the specific object; generating second t…
