Abstract
A method for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) image and an image outputting device that is configured to perform the method are provided. The method includes: loading a 3D screen; calculating a ray density of each region of the loaded 3D screen in order to generate a rendering map; rendering the 3D screen by using the rendering map; and outputting the rendered 3D screen.
Claims20
A method for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) image, the method comprising:
- loading a 3D screen;
- obtaining, for a particular region of the loaded 3D screen, an importance of ray tracing based on an identification whether the particular region is located within a predetermined distance with respect to a camera;
- obtaining, a ray density of each region of the loaded 3D screen based on the importance of the ray tracing;
- generating a rendering map by using the ray density;
- rendering the 3D screen by using the rendering map;
- and
- outputting the rendered 3D screen,
- wherein the generating the rendering map comprises generating the rendering map that has a gray scale that corresponds to a designated ray density.

An image outputting device comprising:
- a processor configured to implement:
- a loader configured to load a three-dimensional (3D) screen;
- an obtainer configured to obtain, for a particular region of the loaded 3D screen, an importance of ray tracing based on an identification whether the particular region is located within a predetermined distance with respect to a camera, and to obtain a ray density of each region of the loaded 3D screen based on the importance of the ray tracing;
- a rendering map generator configured to generate a rendering map by using the ca laced ray density;
- a renderer configured to render the 3D screen by using the rendering map;
- and
- an output module configured to output the rendered 3D screen,
- wherein the rendering map generator is further configured to generate the rendering map that has a gray scale that corresponds to a designated ray density.
