It is an interesting question for members of public to design 3D creative models based on cultural heritage, which can propagate the traditional culture. In order to use the existing cultural resources, we proposed a method to design cultural and creative models based on image retrieval and the generation of relief model technologies. It contains three steps: first, we adopted image retrieval technology to find the most similar image from image databases by calculating the similarities of color and geometric features among different images. We used shape from shaping algorithm to calculate depth to generate 3D relief from a single image. Finally, a 3D model, which is created by Structure from Motion as the base model, is integrated with the generated 3D relief to create the cultural and creative model. A prototype of a cultural and creative model design system using Android is implemented. The experimental results show that the system is effective and robust.
