ABSTRACT:
A high-speed 3D image generating apparatus includes a 3D data measuring device, a voxel data converter to convert the measured 3D data into volume data, a volume data storage to store therein the volume data, and a plurality of processors. The apparatus further includes a 3D image generation process unit to generate a 3D image from the volume data, a 3D image generating device which estimates the quantity of calculations necessary to create the 3D image to be projected and which subdivides the 3D image creation process to allocate resultant sub-processes to the respective processors so as to possibly equalize each other the loads imposed on the respective processors, an input device to supply therefrom parameters related to an image display operation, and a 3D image output device to visualize the produced 3D image, whereby calculation load is equally allocated to each of the processors and the processing time is minimized.
