IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, ITS APPARATUS, AND ITS PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide image processing technology flexibly complying with various plotting strategies and for enhancing efficiency by parallel processing. SOLUTION: An object storage unit 52 stores the three-dimensional data of an object and the array data of B-box which includes the spatial region which the object occupies. A classifying unit 44 reads the B-box array from the object storage unit 52, performs classification of B-boxes into groups on the basis of the object attribute and LOD (Level Of Detail) information. A plotting processing unit 46 calculates a brick including B-boxes belonging to the same group and generates image data by performing plotting processing independently by brick to be stored in an image storage unit 54. An integration unit 48 consolidates the image data per brick stored in the image storage unit 54 and generates the final output image data to be displayed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
