PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly accurately prepare and display an abdomen cross-sectional shape such as a visceral organ or subcutaneous fat shape from the physical information of a user.SOLUTION: A visceral fat simulation apparatus for preparing a visceral fat shape includes: an input part for inputting an abdominal circumference a database storing a visceral fat area estimation expression, a visceral fat model and its feature point coordinates, a visceral fat area, and a relational expression of a moving distance per unit visceral fat area difference of a feature point and the visceral fat area a visceral fat area estimated value calculation part for substituting the abdominal circumference in the visceral fat area estimation expression and calculating a visceral fat area estimated value a visceral fat feature point moving distance calculation part for calculating the moving distance of the feature point by integrating the relational expression of the moving distance per unit visceral fat area difference of the feature point and the visceral fat area from the visceral fat area of the visceral fat model to the visceral fat area estimated value, and calculating the moving position of the feature point and a visceral fat shape preparation part for deforming the visceral fat model on the basis of the moving position of the feature point and preparing the visceral fat shape.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】ユーザの身体情報から内臓、皮下脂肪形状などの腹部断面形状を高精度に作成・表示できるようにする。【解決手段】内臓脂肪形状を作成する内臓脂肪シミュレーション装置として、腹囲を入力する入力部と、内臓脂肪面積推定式と、内臓脂肪モデルとその特徴点座標、内臓脂肪面積、特徴点の単位内臓脂肪面積差当りの移動距離と内臓脂肪面積との関係式が格納されたデータベースと、腹囲を内臓脂肪面積推定式に代入し、内臓脂肪面積推定値を算出する内臓脂肪面積推定値算出部と、特徴点の単位内臓脂肪面積差当りの移動距離と内臓脂肪面積との関係式を内臓脂肪モデルの内臓脂肪面積から内臓脂肪面積推定値まで積分して特徴点の移動距離を算出し、特徴点の移動位置を算出する内臓脂肪特徴点移動距離算出部と、特徴点の移動位置を元に内臓脂肪モデルを変形させ内臓脂肪形状を作成する内臓脂肪形状作成部を有するものを提供する。【選択図】図1
