Image processing device, control method for image processing device and information recording medium
Patent number: 8319786Abstract: To provide an image processing device capable of attaining shade expression on a surface of an object while reducing image processing load, and of reducing a sense of discomfort which the user may feel. A shading process execution unit (62) executes a shading process on the surface of the object, based on a pseudo-normal vector for each pixel of a texture image to be mapped onto the surface of the object. A shading process execution restraining unit (66) restrains execution of the shading process by the shading process execution unit (62), based on the distance from a viewpoint to the object. A pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (60) stores information correlating the distance from the viewpoint with pseudo-normal vector information for obtaining a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel. Then, the pseudo-normal vector obtaining unit (60) obtains a pseudo-normal vector of each pixel, based on the pseudo-normal vector information correlated to the distance from the viewpoint to the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2007Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masashi Endo, Toru Nagai, Eiji Suzuki, Tadaaki Tsunashima -
