A Proposal of Model-Based Haptization System for Animal Images

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a haptization system for animal images by using a 3D model of the animal. The haptization methods which were proposed before, there has been some problems. Some haptization methods are insufficient sense of presence, or require the depth information, so they are not fit to apply to animal images. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to improve the three-dimensional impression and the sense of presence by placing a 3D model of an animal on the image and performing the haptic feedback. But generating the 3D model of the animal from an image automatically and to estimate the pose is difficult. So we are going to make a system which have an existing 3D models and pose information, then users can choose and place them without stress.
