Abstract
A method and an apparatus are for displaying an image. The image is broken down in accordance with a scheme, which can be predetermined, into sections, so-called chunks. The chunks are supplied to a pipeline for processing, on the basis of a scheme which can likewise be predetermined. The pipeline includes a large number of pipeline processors, which operate at a specific resolution level. The chunks are then combined again to form an image at the specific resolution level, and are displayed as an intermediate result. This process is repeated iteratively until the highest resolution level is reached.
