Method and system for scene visualization

摘要

A computer implemented method, system and computer program product for sending from a client a visualization description of a three-dimensional scene to at least one server, wherein the visualization description comprises position and orientation parameters of the three-dimensional scene. The client receives from the at least one server at least one series of two-dimensional image layers according to the visualization description. Each two-dimensional image layer (also known e.g. as impostor or cached images) is a representation of a corresponding spatial portion of the three-dimensional scene and the at least one series corresponds to the position and orientation parameters. The client then calculates the three-dimensional scene by composing the two-dimensional image layers of the at least one series and, if required, by adjusting the two-dimensional image layers to a specific position and orientation. Then the client displays the calculated three-dimensional scene.
