ABSTRACT:
An image display method is provided, with which a large number of images to be searched can be displayed quickly in a 3D space, with easy to understand image rendering and little strain on the user's eyes. The method includes a process of reading in image data of a plurality of images and information about the arrangement of the images in the virtual 3D space; a spatial viewpoint setting/shifting process in which setting and shifting of a spatial viewpoint is specified; a process of converting original shapes of the image data by a parallel expansion projection process including a parallel shifting process regarding the directions of the images and a expansion/shrinking process regarding their size, based on a relation between the information about the arrangement of the images and the spatial viewpoint information, and determining a simplified 2D arrangement as a 2D image; a display image creation process of creating displayed images in accordance with the determined simplified 2D arrangement; and a process of displaying the display images. Through multi-resolution synthesized images and cut images and through the guiding display of a background image, an easy to understand image rendering is achieved, and the eye strain is evaluated and minimized on the basis of the optical flow.
