ABSTRACT:
An image processing method and apparatus using the method, allows a target object to be displayed in a 3-D manner. A number of types of shape data with different resolutions for displaying the object are provided and the resolution of shape data used the 3-D image display is decided in accordance with a display condition. The object is displayed in the form of a 3-D image by employing the shape data with the decided resolution.
