APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SCIENTIFIC VISUALIZATION

The apparatus for visualizing an image, of the present invention, comprises: a visualization processing unit having a numerical simulator for computing and analyzing a condition of an object; and a pixel data generator for generating pixel data representing the condition of the object based on the simulated result by the numerical simulator and parameters for visualization and generating a Z-buffer value representing a depth from a specified viewpoint; and an image display for displaying an image based on synthetic pixel data, the display having a pixel data synthesizer for synthesizing the synthetic pixel data for one frame from the pixel data and the Z-buffer value supplied from the pixel data generator, said image display being connected to said visualization processing unit through an external network.
