Image processing apparatus, generation method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A method of generating a depth map, the method comprising:

• obtaining data that represents a three-dimensional shape of an object, which includes a plurality of points, including a first point and a second point;
• specifying a first position on a two-dimensional image, the first position corresponding to the first point, and specifying a second position on the two-dimensional image, the second position corresponding to the second point;
• assigning first distance information to a first area, which includes the first position on the two-dimensional image, and assigning second distance information to a second area, which includes the second position on the two-dimensional image;
• and
• generating the depth map based on the first distance information and the second distance information,
• wherein a distance from a predetermined viewpoint to the first point is longer than a distance from the predetermined viewpoint to the second point, and
• wherein the first area is smaller than the second area.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program implemented by a computer to execute a method of generating a depth map, the method comprising:

• specifying a first position on a two-dimensional image, the first position corresponding to the first point, and specifying a second position on the two-dimensional image, the second position corresponding to the second point;
• assigning first distance information to a first area, which includes the first position on the two-dimensional image, and assigning second distance information to a second area, which includes the second position on the two-dimensional image;
• and
• generating the depth map based on the first distance information and the second distance information,
• wherein a distance from a predetermined viewpoint to the first point is longer than a distance from the predetermined viewpoint to the second point, and
• wherein the first area is smaller than the second area.
