  • Patent number: 5684935
    Abstract: A method and system (10) for generating a plurality of images of a three-dimensional scene from a database and a specified eye point and field of view. The method includes rendering an image frame, and warping the image frame by changing the eye point and field of view. The warping process is continued on the same image frame in accordance with a predetermined criteria, such as an evaluation of the distortion between the initial image displayed and the last image displayed for this image frame. The warping process utilizes convolution to change the eye point and field of view. The database includes a traversal vector for enabling the eye point and field of view to be determined, and a plurality of voxel elements of at least two different type.
