    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that permit acquisition of a more natural-looking synthesized image. A first captured image depicting a first subject is separated into a foreground area and a background area. The first subject appears in the foreground area. The background area is an area other than the area where the first subject appears. Also, a blended image is generated to be displayed on a live view, in which the blended image is obtained by blending the foreground area and the background area of the first captured image with an output image that is output when a second subject is captured. Then, a synthesized image is generated by superimposing the foreground area of the first captured image on the second captured image depicting the second subject with reference to the blended image in such a manner that the backgrounds are substantially identical. The present technology is applicable, for example, to an imaging apparatus.

    Abstract: A configuration to make a virtual viewpoint image be a more natural stereoscopic image is realized, the virtual viewpoint image being transmitted/received between information processing apparatuses that execute bidirectional communication. A virtual viewpoint position calculation unit configured to calculate a virtual viewpoint position corresponding to a position of a virtual camera that captures a virtual viewpoint image on the basis of viewing position information of a viewing user of the virtual viewpoint image, and a virtual viewpoint image generation unit configured to generate the virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a captured image from the virtual viewpoint position are included. The virtual viewpoint image generation unit is configured to generate the virtual viewpoint image on the basis of a captured image of a real camera that captures an object user, and generates the virtual viewpoint image, setting a capture direction to a virtual camera capture direction set point C set to a position different from the object user. For example, the virtual viewpoint image generation unit generates the virtual viewpoint image assumed to be captured, pointing the capture direction to the virtual camera capture direction set point C set to a front position of the object user.
