An image generation system includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to implement an object space setting process, an image generation process generating a projection image, a process receiving a captured image from an imaging section, and a hit determination process calculating a screen spotlight position based on a position of a spotlight within the captured image, calculates a direction from a set position toward the screen spotlight position to be an emission direction of an emitting element, and determines whether or not an object among the plurality of objects disposed in the object space has been hit based on the calculated emission direction, the screen spotlight position being a position of the spotlight on a projection screen, the spotlight being formed by light emitted from the emitting element, and the set position being set to be a representative position of the emitting element or a player.

Image generation system, image generation method, and information storage medium

An image generation system includes a vertex split count setting section that performs a vertex split count setting process that sets a vertex split count m, a vertex split processing section that performs a vertex split process on a three-dimensional object OB in an object space using the vertex split count m, a vertex position calculation section that calculates an intersection position of a projection screen SC and a straight line that connects a vertex position of the three-dimensional object OB after the vertex split process and a position of a virtual camera VC, and calculates a vertex position of a drawing object corresponding to the three-dimensional object OB on a drawing buffer based on the calculated intersection position, and a drawing section that draws the drawing object on the drawing buffer based on the vertex position of the drawing object to generate a projection image.

Image distortion correction system

An image generation system includes an object space setting section that sets an object space in which a plurality of objects are disposed, and an image generation section that generates a first-viewpoint image viewed from a first viewpoint in the object space, and a second-viewpoint image viewed from a second viewpoint in the object space, the first viewpoint and the second viewpoint implementing stereovision. The image generation section performs a drawing process to generate the first-viewpoint image and the second-viewpoint image, the drawing process changing a display state of an object in a direction from an inner drawing area toward an area outside the inner drawing area, the inner drawing area being positioned within a common area of a first-viewpoint view volume corresponding to the first viewpoint and a second-viewpoint view volume corresponding to the second viewpoint.

An image generation device includes a capture direction specifying section, a capture target specifying section, a marker placement control section that disposes a marker at the capture point, and an image generation section, the capture target specifying section determining whether or not the capture target is present in the capture direction, and specifying the capture target when the capture target is present, and the marker placement control section performing a depth value correction process that corrects the depth value of the capture point when a transition has occurred from a state in which the capture target is present to a state in which the capture target is not present.

Information storage medium and image generation device

A stereoscopic image generating apparatus for generating stereoscopic images to be displayed on a n-eye type of stereoscopic image display apparatus, for every frame, and displaying dynamic images on the stereoscopic image display apparatus, and a game apparatus comprising the stereoscopic image generating apparatus. A stereoscopic image generating apparatuscomprises: an input image storage memorycomprising storage areas corresponding to n viewing images inputted from an outside for every frame, respectively; and an interleaverfor interleaving the viewing images in parallel by reading out image data to be sampled of the viewing images from predetermined storage addresses of the input image storage memory, and generating a stereoscopic image to be displayed on a n-eye type of stereoscopic image display apparatus.
