APPARATUS, METHOD AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR RENDERING IMAGE FOR VECTOR GRAPHICS BASED ON GRAPHIC PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

According to the present invention, an image rendering apparatus comprises: a first boundary triangle generation unit configured to generate a boundary triangle from outline data including a plurality of points and edges between the points, by using points placed on a convex surface of outline data; a second boundary triangle generation unit configured to generate at least one second boundary triangle from the outline data, by using points placed on a concave surface of the outline data; an internal triangle generation unit configured to generate at least one internal triangle from the outline data, by using the points of the outline data; and a rendering unit configured to render the outline data into an image, by using said at least one first boundary triangle, said at least one second boundary triangle and said at least one internal triangle. The apparatus naturally describes a boundary part by curve rendering using the boundary triangle, so as to be easily applied to graphic processing unit (GPU)-based vector graphics.
