<p>A vector field (70) including its local three-dimensional attribute is substantially visualized on a two-dimensional field of view in an intuitionally visible way (p5, p8). For the visualization, the vector field (70) is mapped onto a three-dimensional coordinate space (80) to produce corresponding coordinate point sequences (p1), the degree of elevation (A) in a local area of a plane in which the coordinate point sequences are connected (p2) is determined, the degree of depression (C) in the local area is determined (p3), the degree of elevation/depression (B) in the local area is determined by weight-combining the degree of elevation (A) and the degree of depression (C) (p4), the coordinate space (80) is mapped onto a two-dimensional plane (90), and gray-scale display (F) corresponding to the degree of elevation/depression is conducted on the area of the two-dimensional plane (90) corresponding to the local area (p5).</p> |
