Abstract
An image processing apparatus which allows for information search from items arranged in virtual space, includes: an intra-visual field polygon discriminating means for determining the polygons constituting the surfaces of 3D shapes displayed in the visual field; a polygon data storing means for storing the polygons which were determined to be within the visual field by the intra-visual field polygon discriminating means; a pre-observed polygon identifying means for judging whether currently observed polygons are the same as those stored in the polygon data storing means; and a display processing means for changing the display state of polygons which have been determined to have been priorly seen.

An image processing apparatus which allows for information search from items arranged in virtual space, comprising:
- intra-visual field polygon discriminating means for determining polygons constituting surfaces of 3D shapes displayed in a visual field;
- polygon data storing means for storing the polygons determined to be within the visual field by the intra-visual field polygon discriminating means;
- pre-observed polygon identifying means for judging whether newly observed polygons include polygons stored in the polygon data storing means;
- and
- display processing means for changing a display state of polygons judged to have been previously observed by the pre-observed polygon identifying means.
An image processing apparatus which allows for information search from items arranged in virtual space, comprising:
- intra-visual field polygon discriminating means for determining polygons constituting surfaces of 3D shapes displayed in a visual field;
- polygon data storing means for storing the polygons determined to be within the visual field by the intra-visual field polygon discriminating means;
- pre-observed polygon identifying means for judging whether newly observed polygons include polygons stored in the polygon data storing means;
- and
- texture processing means for mapping a predetermined texture onto the polygons judged as having been previously observed by the pre-observed polygon identifying means.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an intra-visual field polygon discriminator, adapted to determine polygons constituting surfaces of 3D shapes displayed in a visual field;
- polygons data storage, adapted to store polygons determined to be within the visual field by the intra-visual field polygon discriminator;
- pre-observed polygon identifier, adapted to judge whether newly observed polygons include polygons stored in the polygon data storage;
- and
- display processor, adapted to change a display state of polygons judged to have been observed by the pre-observed polygon identifier.
