THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, SERVER FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

Three-dimensional image display system includes server and client cooperating with server to display three-dimensional image. Server includes server memory storing vertex information indicating a vertex position of a polygon that forms a three-dimensional shape, valid polygon identification unit converting the vertex information into different coordinate systems, determining whether the polygon is a valid polygon for displaying based on the converted vertex information and viewpoint information transmitted from client, and generating valid vertex information indicating whether the vertex is valid for rendering the valid polygon, and server communicator transmitting valid vertex information to client. Client includes client memory storing the vertex information indicating the vertex position of the polygon that forms the three-dimensional shape, client communicator transmitting viewpoint information and receiving valid vertex information, and a polygon rendering unit reading the vertex information for only the valid vertex in valid vertex information, converting into different coordinate systems, and generating three-dimensional image.

1. A three-dimensional image display system comprising:
a server; and a client cooperating with the server to display a three-dimensional image, the server comprising: a server memory configured to store vertex information indicating a vertex position of a polygon that forms a three-dimensional shape; a valid polygon identification unit configured to convert the vertex information stored in the server memory into a different coordinate system, to decide whether the polygon is a valid polygon for displaying based on the converted vertex information and viewpoint information transmitted from the client, and to generate valid vertex information indicating whether the vertex is valid for rendering the valid polygon; and a server communicator configured to transmit the valid vertex information to the client, the client comprising: a client memory configured to store the vertex information indicating the vertex position of the polygon that forms the three-dimensional shape; a client communicator configured to transmit the viewpoint information to the server and to receive the valid vertex information from the server; and a polygon rendering unit configured to read the vertex information stored in the client memory for only the valid vertex in the valid vertex information, to convert the vertex information into a different coordinate system, and to generate a three-dimensional image.
