ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes an auxiliary storage device19stored first data of a given object image higher in LOD level, a main memory11stored second data of the given object image lower in the LOD level than the first data, a CPU10,and a GPU18.The CPU10calculates an apparent speed of the object image on a screen, and determines data to be used in the geometry processing of the object image to one of the first data and the second data in accordance with the apparent speed. The GPU18takes in the first data (or the second data) from the auxiliary storage device19(or the main memory11) to conduct the rendering process in the case where the geometry processing is conducted by using the first data (or the second data).
