Abstract
Color image data is generated by capturing an image of a target object. Pixels of the color image data are classified to generate classified image data. The kernels have sizes according to a plurality of sub-target objects formed of pixels that belong to categories. First data on a point cloud is generated by capturing an image of the target object using an infrared stereo camera. The first data is projected onto a plane to generate second data on a point cloud. A point of the point cloud in the second data is associated with a pixel in the classified image data. Third data on a point cloud in a three-dimensional coordinate system is generated from the first data by filtering information on the positions of the points in the first data. The filtering uses the kernels according to the categories of the points contained in the first data.
