Abstract
A hidden-line removal method is provided which is executed in an image processing apparatus. The method includes the steps of extracting portions of the polygons contained in each of the divided areas on a two-dimensional plane using the projected three-dimensional model and calculating memory consumption for each of the areas using the extracted polygons. The method includes the steps of determining the optimized division style based on the calculated memory consumption and executing the hidden-line removal based on the optimized division style.
