Abstract
In a method of transferring and displaying 3-D shape data in a system including a transmission unit for transmitting 3-D shape data constituted by a plurality of elements representing shapes, and a reception display unit for receiving the 3-D shape data and displaying the 3-D shape data as an image, the transmission unit is caused to progressively transmit the 3-D data in units of elements. The reception display unit is caused to receive elements transmitted from the transmission unit and to progressively display the elements in an reception order.
Claims6
A method of transferring and displaying 3-D shape data in a system including a transmission unit for transmitting 3-D shape data constituted by a plurality of elements representing shapes, and a reception display unit for receiving the 3-D shape data and displaying the 3-D shape data as an image, comprising the steps of:
- sorting the elements according to area attributes;
- requesting the reception display unit to send a display resolution;
- receiving the display resolution of the reception display unit;
- setting an allowable transmission range to interrupt transmission of elements having higher resolution than the display resolution;
- causing said transmission unit to progressively transmit the 3-D data in units of elements;
- and
- causing said reception display unit to receive elements transmitted from said transmission unit and progressively displaying the elements in a reception order.
