Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the field of service engineering, 3D computer graphics models of the concerned environment are used for visualizing and analyzing the related worker’s performance. The existing modeling methods are not designed well for maintaining the contents to meet the changes of the target environment. Here, we have developed the dynamic modeling techniques which accurately maintain the up-to-date changes of the real environment. Our dynamic modeling method is the upgraded version of our Interactive 3D modeling technique which designs the 3D model from the simple 2D photographs. The dynamic modeling includes the features for updating, editing and deleting the CG models and texture correction with the Inpainting techniques. We have also adopted RGB-D cameras for automatically reconstructing the 3D models of the complex environment. Based on our dynamic modeling, we have released an application to experience the up-to-date virtual CG model of the Kesennuma Yokocho food stall village.
