    continuing the above processing by handling the second characteristic as the first characteristic point and a next characteristic point extracted from the model information as the second characteristic point when the difference in locus is smaller than a predetermined value, and repeating the above processing by using the first and second characteristic points when the difference is greater than the predetermined value.
