Abstract
A video processing apparatus accepts, from a user, designation of an object on a predetermined video captured by a first real image capturing apparatus, specifies, from a plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses, an image capturing apparatus that captured a video including the designated object in an image capturing range based on three dimensional shape information corresponding to the designated object. The designated object exists in an image capturing area captured by the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses. The video processing apparatus outputs display information including presentation of the specified image capturing apparatus.
Claims13
A video processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories storing instructions;
- and
- one or more processors for executing the instructions to:
- distribute, to a user terminal, a virtual viewpoint video generated by using videos captured by a plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- receive, from the user terminal, information of designation of an object on a video for designation of the object by a user, wherein the video for designation of the object is not the virtual viewpoint video, the video for designation of the object is displayed on the user terminal, and the video for designation of the object is captured by a first real image capturing apparatus that is directly connected to the user terminal;
- specify, from the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses that are used for generation of the virtual viewpoint video and are connected to the video processing apparatus, a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that captured a video including the designated object in an image capturing range based on three dimensional shape information corresponding to the designated object, the designated object existing in an image capturing area captured by the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- output, to the user terminal, display information including presentation of a plurality of videos, each of which is captured by the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- receive selection of one of the plurality of videos captured by a respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- and
- change a video to be distributed to the user terminal from the virtual viewpoint video to the one of the plurality of videos captured by the respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses.

A control method of a video processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- distributing, to a user terminal, a virtual viewpoint video generated by using videos captured by a plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- receiving, from the user terminal, information of designation of an object on a video for designation of the object by a user, wherein the video for designation of the object is not the virtual viewpoint video, the video for designation of the object is displayed on the user terminal, and the video for designation of the object is captured by a first real image capturing apparatus that is directly connected to the user terminal;
- specifying, from the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses that are used for generation of the virtual viewpoint video and are connected to the video processing apparatus, a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that captured a video including the designated object in an image capturing range based on three dimensional shape information corresponding to the designated object, the designated object existing in an image capturing area captured by the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- outputting, to the user terminal, display information including presentation of a plurality of videos, each of which is captured by the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- receiving selection of one of the plurality of videos captured by a respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- and
- changing a video to be distributed to the user terminal from the virtual viewpoint video to the one of the plurality of videos captured by the respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for controlling a video processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- distributing, to a user terminal, a virtual viewpoint video generated by using videos captured by a plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- receiving, from the user terminal, information of designation of an object on a video for designation of the object by a user, wherein the video for designation of the object is not the virtual viewpoint video, the video for designation of the object is displayed on the user terminal, and the video for designation of the object is captured by a first real image capturing apparatus that is directly connected to the user terminal;
- specifying, from the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses that are used for generation of the virtual viewpoint video and are connected to the video processing apparatus, a plurality of image capturing apparatuses that captured a video including the designated object in an image capturing range based on three dimensional shape information corresponding to the designated object, the designated object existing in an image capturing area captured by the plurality of second real image capturing apparatuses;
- outputting, to the user terminal, display information including presentation of a plurality of videos, each of which is captured by the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- receiving selection of one of the plurality of videos captured by a respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses;
- and
- changing a video to be distributed to the user terminal from the virtual viewpoint video to the one of the plurality of videos captured by the respective one of the specified plurality of image capturing apparatuses.
