Abstract
Provided is a rendering apparatus and method. After a rendering image is generated by forming a splat for each of points generated by projecting a model composed of a plurality of points, then a plurality of predetermined regions which extend over a boundary of the generated rendering image are selected for each splat forming the boundary of the rendering image, and a pixel value of each pixel included in each of the selected regions is corrected based on pixel values of the pixel and its surrounding pixels, thereby correcting the boundary of the rendering image to make the boundary appear to be more natural and thus improving the display quality of the rendering image.
