摘要： A computer-controlled imaging system for providing a realistic representation of a three-dimensional scene on a two-dimensional medium in which multiple objects, viewed from several aspects and which may be combined informing a scene, are stored in digital form on mass storage device is allocated amongst plural channels. A field-of-view computer controls the read out of the stored objects into a buffer memory where they become available for processing by a pipeline processor which is capable of warping the image in accordance with instructions from the field-of-view computer. These images in each channel are then arranged in an order of range from a viewer whereby more remote images are occluded by closer images. The images from all channels are then fed in raster scan format to a scene construction module where CGSI and special effects can be added to the composite scene prior to being fed to video display equipment.
