Abstract
An image processing system, including a main CPU, a main storage, a three-dimensional image processor and a CRT for a display unit. The system further includes a system bus that connects the main CPU with the three-dimensional image processor to perform data transfer. In a preferred embodiment, the three-dimensional image processor also includes a command analyzer, a model data accumulating memory, a coordinate transformation processor, a viewing transforming circuit, a texture processing circuit and an image memory and video control circuit. The image processing system of the present invention makes it possible to reduce a load on the main CPU, which shortens data transfer time and thereby improves processing speed of the system.
