PCT No. PCT/FR95/01237 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 2, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 2, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 26, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/10805 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 11, 1996A method of generation of computer images of a three-dimensional scene constituted by a set of facets, viewed from a point of observation along a viewing axis. The facets are projected on the surface of a sphere whose center is the point of observation of the scene and wherein the surface of the sphere is divided in a special way into elementary surfaces, each corresponding to a pixel on the spherical surface, in such a manner that the orthogonal projections of the elementary surfaces on a reference plane passing through the point of observation and perpendicular to the viewing axis of the scene all have same value. An application is the generation of visibility or distance images. Another application is radiosity.
