Abstract:
The present invention relates to an image-processing apparatus and to an image-processing method for expressing lie on a green, in which information on a golf course provided in images, particularly, topographic information on the putting green of the golf course, is visually represented in virtual golf games being played by users via images of golf games, virtual golf simulations, or the like, thereby enabling users to easily understand the topographic information on the green, thus rendering virtual golf games more realistic. For this purpose, an image-processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: course-providing means for displaying images of a green, as well as a hole cup and a golf ball on the green; and a lie display means for displaying at least one moving line having a predetermined length, wherein the moving line moves within a predetermined area between the hole cup and the golf ball such that the shape of the moving line varies in accordance with the variation in topography on the moving path of the moving line.
