1. A processor for three-dimensional data of an object, the processor comprising:

  • a first input means for inputting three-dimensional coordinate data of points of an object;

    a second input means for inputting color image data in correspondence to the coordinate data of the object input by said first input means;

    a detection means for detecting color image data at boundaries between a first color and a second color different from the first color in the color image data input by said second input means; and

    a thinning means for thinning the coordinate data except the coordinate data in correspondence to the data at the boundaries detected by said detection means.
