User-responsive, enhanced-image generation method and system

Abstract

The present invention concerns an enhanced-image generation system and method which responds adaptively to changes in conditions in real space or virtual space. The enhanced-image generation system according to the present invention comprises: a conditions-judging unit for judging conditions on the basis of conditions data associated with actual objects and conditions data associated with virtual objects; an operational-parameter generating unit for generating operational parameters for a responsive agent in accordance with the judged conditions; and an enhanced-image generating unit for generating an enhanced image through the use of agent operational parameters and an image relating to an actual object. The present invention makes it possible to generate enhanced images which respond actively to changes in conditions and which are relatively realistic, and also makes it possible to generate enhanced images which are matched to the user and which are made to reflect the user's individual preferences and experiences.
