Abstract

In order to process 3D input image data for a display of images on at least one display unit, the 3D input image data are provided scene-by-scene in accordance with an associated 3D image scene. The 3D input image data are each fed to a scene processing unit for management and processing. The 3D input image data are processed scene-by-scene in the scene processing unit, wherein at least two 3D image scenes are at least partially superposed and a whole 3D scene is formed and managed. Several 3D output scenes are derived from the whole 3D scene, for which 3D output scenes the superposition occurs in accordance with different perspective locations of observation and 3D output image data are produced in the process. The 3D output image data are fed to at least one rendering unit, which is associated with the display unit, for the production of target image data adapted to the display unit.
