Abstract
An image generating device includes a rendering section that renders test images each representing an image when a space including an object to be displayed is viewed from one of a plurality of candidate reference viewing points; a candidate reference viewing point evaluation section that evaluates an importance value for the candidate reference viewing points as a function of at least their comparative coverage of points in the space; and an update section that changes the position of one or more candidate reference viewing points that have a low importance value, obtains a re-evaluation from the candidate reference viewing point evaluation section, and does not revert the position of a candidate reference viewing point if its comparative coverage of points in the space has increased.
