Abstract
An information processing apparatus acquires imaging parameters of a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus, and based on the imaging parameters, determines a number of first images to be captured by the first imaging apparatus and a number of second images to be captured by the second imaging apparatus. Further, the information processing apparatus acquires first color information included in the first images and second color information included in the second images, and based on the first color information and the second color information, generates color correction information for correcting a difference in color between the first and second images.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a parameter acquisition unit configured to acquire imaging parameters of a first imaging apparatus and a second imaging apparatus;
- a number-of-images determining unit configured to, based on the imaging parameters, determine a number of first images to be captured by the first imaging apparatus and a number of second images to be captured by the second imaging apparatus;
- a color information acquisition unit configured to acquire first color information included in the first images and second color information included in the second images;
- a generation unit configured to, based on the first color information and the second color information, generate color correction information for correcting a difference in color between the first and second images;
- and
- a storage unit configured to store correspondence relationship information indicating relationships between a plurality of imaging parameters and the number of images to be captured,
- wherein based on the imaging parameters, the number-of-images determining unit references the stored correspondence relationship information and determines the number of images to be captured.
