Abstract
In an image generation apparatus, a virtual space generation section generates a virtual space in which an object and a virtual camera are arranged in accordance with input information acquired by an input information acquisition section. An intermediate image generation section draws the virtual space by a past technique. A curved surface generation section of a display image generation section generates, for each polygon of an object, a curved surface corresponding to the polygon. A pixel displacement acquisition section acquires a correspondence in pixel position between an image drawn with a planar polygon and a curved surface image. A drawing section determines color values of the pixels of the display image in accordance with the correspondence by referring to an original image. An output section outputs data of the display image generated as described above to a display apparatus.
