Abstract
A method for rendering multi-dimensional image data having a plurality of objects is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: providing an object database for storing the objects, providing a first pointer storage block, obtaining a depth value of the objects as a pointer which points to an address of the first pointer storage block, storing the pointers of the objects in the object database into the first pointer storage block and according to the depth value, sequentially searching the first pointer storage block to take out the objects from the object database for displaying the image data. The method is able to skip the comparison operations for every object with different depth values as found in the prior art. Therefore, the method can reduce the amount of computation and the occupied memory bandwidth.
