Abstract
A position information management unit estimates position/orientation information, in an object coordinate system, of an image input unit configured to inputs an image, from the image input by the image input unit. A dynamic deformation control unit dynamically controls the deformation of three-dimensional model data arranged in the object coordinate system. A two-dimensional projection image generating unit generates two-dimensional projection image data, in a view field of the image input unit, of the three-dimensional model data deformation-controlled by the dynamic deformation control unit, based on the position/orientation information of the image input unit estimated by the position information management unit. A superposed display unit displays the two-dimensional projection image data generated by the two-dimensional projection image-generating unit, in superposed relation with the image input by the image input unit.
