Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprising:tree-structure data memory means for storing tree-structure data, the tree-structure data including as components shape data geometrically describing a three-dimensional space and a three-dimensional object and light space data describing the three-dimensional space and the three-dimensional object based on a real-photographed image;displaying means for displaying a virtual three-dimensional space in which the shape data and the light space data are mixed with each other, based on the tree-structure data stored in said tree-structure data memory means;processing means for processing at least one of the shape data and the light space data both displayed;changing means for changing the tree-structure data stored in said tree-structure data memory means, based on the processing content by said processing means;re-displaying means for re-displaying the virtual three-dimensional space, based on the data changing content by said changing means;indication information generating means for generating indication information indicating the changing content of the tree-structure data, based on the processing content by said processing means; andtransmitting means for transmitting the indication information generated by said indication information generating means to an another information processing apparatus connected to said image processing apparatus.
