TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA DISPLAY METHOD, MOVING PICTURE DATA GENERATING METHOD, AND MOVING PICTURE DATA DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To view a scene obtained when a person stands where the scene shown in, for example, a photographic image is viewed and changes his viewpoint optionally by performing a magnification varying process for an image of two-dimensional color image data corresponding to the quantity of forward or backward displacement of the viewpoint. SOLUTION: When the user changes or move his viewpoint, walk operation or move operation is selected with a walk or move button pressed and a proper point on a main screen is specified with a pointer operated by a screen indicating device 3. For example, when the user selects the walk operation and performs forward movement in this state, a work station device 1 increases the magnification of the two-dimensional image data by a value corresponding to the forward movement and updates the image displayed on the main screen into the image after magnification variation. When the user changes the viewpoint, the display contents are changed as if the viewpoint of the camera picking up the photographic image were actually changed.
