A method of scaling a three-dimensional input model (200-208) into a
scaled three-dimensional output model (210-224) is disclosed. The method
comprises determining for portions of the three-dimensional input model
respective probabilities that the corresponding portions of the scaled
three-dimensional output model are visible in a two-dimensional view of
the scaled three-dimensional output model and geometrically transforming
portions of the three-dimensional input model into the respective
portions of the scaled three-dimensional output model on basis of the
respective probabilities. The determining of probability of visibility is
based on a projection of the three-dimensional input model in a viewing
direction. By taking into account that some portions are not visible, no
depth-range is wasted.
