Method of generating view of scene with thermal shade, involves calculating multiple shade textures for three-dimensional scene for multiple iteration steps based on position of thermal source

摘要

The method involves calculating multiple shade textures (60) for a three-dimensional scene (50) for multiple iteration steps based on a position of a thermal source (54). The three-dimensional scene comprises multiple objects (52) which are defined by a three-dimensional description of an object surface or an object volume. A shade factor (66) for a pixel (64) is calculated of the two-dimensional view (62) for an iteration step based on the shade texture. The shade factor specifies a degree of shading at the position of the pixel. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a computer program stored on a computer readable medium; (2) a method for testing a technical device; and (3) a test system for testing a technical device.
