ABSTRACT:
A method and/or apparatus for high speed visualization of depth image-based 3D graphic data. The method includes: reading point texture data of a 3D object; performing a 3D warping for each of the reference images of the simple texture data at a predetermined view point to obtain warped images; performing a depth test and a splatting for each pixel of the plurality of warped images to obtain final color data; and visualizing an object by using the final color data. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce memory usage and increase the number of visualization per a second and to effectively implement visualization of 3D graphic object in, particularly, a mobile terminal.
