ABSTRACT:
A device for creating an image representing a three-dimensional scene of objects includes a conversion unit which divides a Z axis into a plurality of segments to create a plurality of spaces and converts view-point coordinates of the objects into perspective coordinates for each of the plurality of spaces. The device further includes a hidden-surface processing unit for carrying out hidden-surface processing based on a Z-buffer method by using the perspective coordinates of the objects to create the image.
