Information presentation apparatus, information presentation method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information presentation method comprising:

• by a computer,
• receiving an image signal of a camera and a signal from a sensor;
• estimating a position of a signal source based on the signal from the sensor;
• extracting information on a situation expression expressing a situation outside a capture range of the camera based on the signal from the sensor, the situation expression having a shape, a transmissivity, a movement and a size depending on a contents of expression;
• determining a display position of the situation expression on a captured image displayed by the image signal, based on a positional relation between the position of the signal source and the capture range of the camera;
• superimposing the situation expression onto the captured image, in accordance with the display method position, and outputting the captured image superimposed with the situation expression;
• and
• when a plurality of sensors are located at different positions and a plurality of situation expression related to each of sensors are extracted and overlap at least partially on the captured image, determining an overlapping order of the plurality of situation expression on the captured image based on a distance between the camera and the sensors.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information presentation program that enables a computer apparatus to execute:

• receiving an image signal of a camera and a signal from a sensor;
• estimating a position of a signal source based on the signal from the sensor;
• extracting information on a situation expression expressing a situation outside a capture range of the camera based on the signal from the sensor, the situation expression having a shape, a transmissivity, a movement and a size depending on a contents of expression;
• determining a display position of the situation expression on a captured image displayed by the image signal, based on a positional relation between the position of the signal source and the capture range of the camera;
• superimposing the situation expression onto the captured image, in accordance with the display position, and outputting the captured image superimposed with the situation expression;
• and
• when a plurality of sensors are located at different positions and a plurality of situation expression related to each of sensors are extracted and overlap at least partially on the captured image, determining an overlapping order of the plurality of situation expression on the captured image based on a distance between the camera and the sensors.
