ABSTRACT:
An image generating apparatus and image generating method determine the distribution state of dot-sequences on a two-dimensional screen using two-dimensional Gaussian distribution in the event that the plurality of dot-sequences randomly exist in a sphere within the three-dimensional space, an generate an image of dot-sequences on the two-dimensional screen based on the distribution state on the two-dimensional screen. The two-dimensional Gaussian distribution can be factored to the product of one-dimensional Gaussian distributions, and the one-dimensional Gaussian distributions can be generated by uniform random numbers. Thus, it is easy to create an image by projecting a plurality of dot-sequences randomly existing in a three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional screen.
