Abstract:
A method for generating a virtual viewpoint image includes generating, by a first image processing apparatus, first information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a first image captured by a first camera, generating, by a second image processing apparatus, second information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a second image captured by a second camera; specifying a viewpoint in the virtual viewpoint image; and generating, by a third image processing apparatus, a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the specified viewpoint using the first information and the second information.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a foreground image based on an object region including a predetermined object in a captured image for generating a virtual viewpoint image and a background image based on a region different from the object region in the captured image, wherein the obtained foreground image and the obtained background image having different frame rates, and an output unit configured to output the foreground image and the background image which are obtained by the obtaining unit and which are associated with each other.
Abstract:
A control device for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The control device includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain game information specifying a type of game which is a target of imaging performed by the plurality of cameras, a storage unit configured to store information for associating the game information obtained by the obtaining unit with setting information of the system, and a setting unit configured to perform a setting process of the system based on the game information obtained by the obtaining unit and the information stored in the storage unit.
Abstract:
A control device for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The control device includes a reception unit configured to receive an instruction issued by a user for specifying a virtual viewpoint associated with generation of a virtual viewpoint image, an obtaining unit configured to obtain restriction information for specifying a restriction region where designation of a virtual viewpoint based on the instruction received by the reception unit is restricted, wherein the restriction region is changed in accordance with a parameter associated with the image data, and a notification unit configured to perform a notification based on the restriction information obtained by the obtaining unit.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The information processing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine a generation method for generating a virtual viewpoint image using the image data from among a plurality of generation methods depending on a situation of imaging using the plurality of cameras, and an output unit configured to output data in accordance with a result of the determination performed by the determination unit.
