Abstract: A method, apparatus, and medium for transforming a graphic data of an object and a computer readable recording medium storing a program for executing the method are provided. The method includes; determining at least one triangle to be collapsed among one or more triangles comprised in the object, determining a collapsing vertex to be created by collapsing the at least one triangle, and transforming the graphic data of the object based on information regarding the at least one triangle determined to be collapsed and information regarding the determined collapsing vertex. Thus, a large three-dimensional object can be efficiently rendered with a small amount of resources.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for displaying topography around a position of a mobile object such as a vehicle in 3-dimensional graphics. The method includes predicting a candidate region for the mobile object's position at a display time after a predetermined period of time using current position and motion information of the mobile object; loading 3-dimensional graphic data corresponding to the predicted candidate region to memory; and rendering and displaying data corresponding to a region around a position of the mobile object at the display time among the 3-dimensional graphic data loaded to the memory.
