Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus including a camera and at least one computer, wherein

• the information processing apparatus includes at least a white area in an exterior of the information processing apparatus, and an image capturing range of the camera includes at least a part of the white area,
• the at least one computer is configured to:
• acquire an image captured by the camera;
• and
• based on a preset first area that is a partial area in the image captured by the camera and includes at least a portion relating to the white area, perform white balance on the image to adjust the portion relating to the white area in the first area closer to white, and
• the information processing apparatus is further configured to generate a superimposed image by superimposing a virtual image on at least a part of the portion relating to the white area.

An information processing method executed by an information processing system that includes an apparatus including a camera and including at least a white area in an exterior of the apparatus, wherein

• an image capturing range of the camera includes at least a part of the white area of the apparatus,
• the information processing method comprises:
• an acquisition step of acquiring an image captured by the camera;
• and
• a white balance execution step of performing white balance based on the image captured by the camera,
• in the white balance execution step;
• based on a preset first area that is a partial area in the image captured by the camera and includes at least a portion relating to the white area, white balance is performed on the image to adjust the portion relating to the white area in the first area closer to white, and
• the information processing method further comprises generating a superimposed image by superimposing a virtual image on at least a part of the portion relating to the white area.

An information processing system comprising:

• acquire an image captured by the camera;
• and
• based on a preset first area that is a partial area in the image captured by the camera and includes at least a portion relating to the white area, perform white balance on the image to adjust the portion relating to the white area in the first area closer to white,
• a relative positional relationship between the camera and the white area is fixed, and
• the first area is a preset fixed area in the image captured by the camera.

• and at least one computer, wherein
• an image capturing range of the camera includes at least a part of the white area of the apparatus,
• the at least one computer is configured to:
• acquire an image captured by the camera;
• make white determination for determining whether or not each of reference points in the first area is white;
• and
• based on a preset first area that is a partial area in the image captured by the camera and includes at least a portion relating to the white area, perform white balance on the image to adjust the portion relating to the white area in the first area closer to white using a reference point determined as white according to the white determination in priority to a reference point determined as not white according to the white determination,
• if a result of the white determination on each of the reference points in the first area satisfies a predetermined condition, the at least one computer performs the white balance using the first area, and if the result of the white determination does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the at least one computer performs the white balance using a second area in the image captured by the camera,
• the first area is a partial area of the image captured by the camera, and
• the second area is an area larger than the first area.
