Abstract

Thispaper presents an algorithm for image rendering using FPGA (Field-ProgrammableGate Arrays). The image is rendered by an FPGA chip coupled with a DSP (DigitalSignal Processor) on an experimental board. The graphical data is 3D point-clouds- sets of particles that are from the geometrical point of view oriented ellipsesin 3D space. Such scene representation seems to be more suitable forpotentially many purposes than the most commonly used triangle meshes. Theactual experimental implementation which verifies the concept and showspromising results is described.
