Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002157606
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a composite reality presentation system, etc., which can accurately grasp the front-rear relation between an object in the real space and an object in a virtual space and present a three-dimensionally matched composite reality space with high precision when the real space and virtual space are merged.

This system is equipped with a detecting means which detects a specific object in a real image, a position calculating means which obtains the position relation between the specific object detected by the detecting means in the real image and an object in a virtually generated virtual image, an image removing means which removes a specific partial image of the object in the virtual image by referring to the calculation result of the position calculating means, a composing means which puts the virtual image and real image together so that the specific object is at the position of the partial image of the virtual image removed by the image removing means, and a display control means which displays the image composed by the composing means on a display means.
