Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. An image processing method comprising:
receiving, a numerical value;
determining, a transparency of each of a plurality of voxels, each voxel in the plurality of voxels being associated with positional information indicating a position in a three-dimensional space and a value of a state quantity of the three-dimensional space at the position indicated by the positional information, in which as a subtraction result corresponding to an absolute value of a difference between the received numerical value and the value of the state quantity associated with one of the plurality of voxels is greater, the transparency of each voxel in the plurality of voxels is determined as a value closer to a value that is defined as a value making the one of the plurality of voxels transparent;
determining, a display color of each voxel in the plurality of voxels according to display color information which defines the display color in accordance with the value of the state quantity of each voxel in the plurality of voxels; and
displaying, each voxel in the plurality of voxels for which the transparency and the display color have been determined on a display device, wherein
each of the plurality of voxels is associated with a plurality of values of a time series as the value of the state quantity, and
the method further comprises:
receiving, as the numerical value, a state quantity change value indicating a change state of the state quantity of the three-dimensional space in a period indicated by the time series;
determining the transparency of each voxel in the plurality of voxels based on the received state quantity change value and the plurality of values of the time series; and
determining the display color of each voxel in the plurality of voxels according to display color information which defines the display color of one of the plurality of voxels in accordance with the plurality of values of the time series, as the display color information.
