Abstract
A three-dimensional position posture relation detection unit detects a relation of relative three-dimensional position and posture between an image input unit and a target object using the image of the target object in a real space input from the image input unit. A difference comparison detection unit compares the detected position and posture of the target object and a value stored in a figuration information storage unit corresponding to a part of the target object so as to detect a difference between an actual position and posture of the input target object and stored figuration information of the target object. A figuration information management unit reflects a value of the detected difference on figuration information stored in the figuration information storage unit. A superposed image generation unit generates an image which is obtained by superposing the image of the input target object and stored figuration information of the target object.
