Abstract
A control server includes an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information indicating an imaging condition of a plurality of imaging apparatuses, a communication parameter determination unit configured to determine a time length during which each of a plurality of pieces of image data based on image capturing by the plurality of imaging apparatuses is communicable, based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a control unit configured to perform control so that communication of the plurality of pieces of image data is performed in accordance with the time length determined by the determination unit.
Claims17
A control apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors executing the instructions to:
- acquire information about an imaging condition of a plurality of imaging apparatuses and including at least one of information indicating a focal length of each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, information that enables identification of an imaging range to be subjected to image capturing by each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, and information that enables identification of a distance between each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses and an imaging region to be subjected to image capturing by the plurality of imaging apparatuses;
- determine a time length during which each of a plurality of pieces of image data based on image capturing by the plurality of imaging apparatuses is communicable, based on the acquired information, the image data corresponding to a foreground region extracted from a captured image acquired through image capturing by each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses;
- and
- control so that communication of the plurality of pieces of image data is performed in accordance with the determined time length and with a data amount communicable in the determined time length not being exceeded.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- acquiring information about an imaging condition of a plurality of imaging apparatuses and including at least one of information indicating a focal length of each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, information that enables identification of an imaging range to be subjected to image capturing by each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses, and information that enables identification of a distance between each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses and an imaging region to be subjected to image capturing by the plurality of imaging apparatuses;
- determining a time length during which each of a plurality of pieces of image data based on image capturing by the plurality of imaging apparatuses is communicable, based on the acquired information, the image data corresponding to a foreground region extracted from a captured image acquired through image capturing by each of the plurality of imaging apparatuses;
- and
- performing control so that communication of the plurality of pieces of image data is performed in accordance with the determined time length and with a data amount communicable in the time length determined not being exceeded.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a first image processing apparatus configured to transmit, in a first time length, first image data corresponding to a foreground region extracted from a captured image acquired through image capturing by a first imaging apparatus, the first time length being a time length during which the first image data is communicable, the first image data being used in generation of a three dimensional shape data representing a three dimensional shape of the foreground region;
- and
- a second image processing apparatus configured to transmit, in a second time length, image data corresponding to a foreground region extracted from a captured image acquired through image capturing by a second imaging apparatus, he second time length being a time length during which the second image data is communicable, the second image data being used in generation of a three dimensional shape data representing a three dimensional shape of the foreground region, a focal length of the first imaging apparatus being longer than a focal length of the second imaging apparatus, and the first time length being longer than the second time length.
