20080246760 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAPPING TEXTURE ONTO 3-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT MODEL - Provided are a method and apparatus for mapping texture onto a 3-dimensional (3D) object model. The method includes converting object model data, in which at least one object is modeled, into object model data of a predetermined view point, generating raster graphics data expressing the texture of the object by data in pixel units based on vector graphics data expressing the texture of the object in a geometrical equation, and mapping the texture formed of the generated raster graphics data onto an object model expressed by the converted object model data. By using the method, the amount of resources and operations are low, and thus various effects can be realized which could not be realized due to a limit in processing speed. Accordingly, an appearance of reality of a 3D image can be remarkably improved. | 10-09-2008 |
20080286006 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An image forming apparatus and an image forming method are provided, in which a drum itself forms an electrostatic latent image on a surface of the drum by charging plates included in the drum surface among plates of capacitors of a plurality of cells based onprint data, wherein the cells constitute a circumference of the drum, the electrostatic latent image is developed so as to generate a developed image, the developed image is transferred onto a printing medium, and the developed image is fixed to the printing medium. Accordingly, the time required to print the print data is drastically reduced, it is possible to reduce the size of an image forming apparatus, and high quality print outs can be obtained. | 11-20-2008 |
20080286007 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An image forming apparatus and an image forming method are provided, in which a drum itself forms an electrostatic latent image corresponding to print data that is to be printed, on a surface of the drum, the electrostatic latent image is developed so as to generate a developed image, the developed image is transferred onto a printing medium, and the transferred image is fixed to the printing medium. Accordingly, the time required to print the print data is drastically reduced, it is possible to reduce the size of an image forming apparatus, and high quality print outs can be obtained. | 11-20-2008 |
20080317502 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD USING LATENT IMAGES - An image forming apparatus and an image forming method are provided, in which a drum itself forms an electrostatic latent image for each of one or more basic colors in accordance with print data on a surface of the drum while making the polarities of the electrostatic latent images different, the electrostatic latent images are developed so as to generate developed images, the developed images are transferred onto a printing medium, and the transferred images are fixed to the printing medium. Accordingly, color printing can be rapidly completed even by using a number of drums less than the number of basic colors for use in representing colors to be printed, it is possible to reduce the size of an image forming apparatus, and high quality print outs can be obtained. | 12-25-2008 |
