ABSTRACT:
A system for displaying an image where all or part of an image is generated as an aggregation of very small regions uses, a random number assigned to each very small region so as to change the color or brightness of each very small region when uniform random numbers are generated, the range within which the uniform random numbers are generated is specified by the operator. When the random numbers are generated in accordance with a distributed function, the average value and dispersion value are similarly specified by the operator, so that the image can be more realistically displayed.
