Abstract
Provided herein is an electronic apparatus including a storage configured to store a texture image representing a characteristic of a particle of an object; and a processor configured to map the texture image to a plurality of locations where the particle exists and to generate a blending image by blending the mapped texture images, and to render the object based on the blending image.
Claims7
An electronic apparatus for rendering an image, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a storage configured to store a texture image representing a characteristic of a particle;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- map the texture image to a plurality of positions where the particle exists on the image,
- generate a blending image by blending the mapped texture images,
- determine a characteristic value of each pixel of the blending image, based on the characteristic of the particle;
- determine an object region including a pixel which corresponds to a characteristic value higher than a predetermined value, from among a plurality of pixels of the blending image, wherein the object region corresponds to a shape of an object corresponding to the characteristic of the particle;
- render the object region according to a first rendering method regarding the object and render a remaining region of the image excluding the object region according to a second rendering technique, and
- wherein the second rendering technique requires a smaller amount of operations than does the first rendering technique.

A rendering method for rendering an image, the method comprising:
- mapping a texture image corresponding to a particle in a plurality of positions where the particle exists on the image;
- generating a blending image by blending the mapped texture images;
- determining a characteristic value of each pixel of the blending image, based on the characteristic of the particle;
- determining an object region including a pixel which corresponds to a characteristic value higher than a predetermined value, from among a plurality of pixels of the blending image, wherein the object region corresponds to a shape of an object corresponding to the characteristic of the particle;
- rendering the object region according to a first rendering method regarding the object and rendering a remaining region of the image excluding the object region according to a second rendering method, and
- wherein the second rendering method requires a smaller amount of operations than does the first rendering method.
