Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

An image processing method comprising:

• performing predetermined detection processing on image data captured with use of an imaging unit for wide-angle imaging;
• determining whether to transmit geometrically converted image data generated by performing a geometric conversion on the captured image data to a reception apparatus, or to transmit the captured image data without the geometric conversion to the reception apparatus;
• and
• performing control for performing the geometric conversion on a result of the predetermined detection processing performed on the captured image data without the geometric conversion, in a case where it is determined that the geometrically converted captured image data is to be transmitted to the reception apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method comprising:

• performing predetermined detection processing on image data captured with use of an imaging unit for wide-angle imaging;
• determining whether to transmit geometrically converted image data generated by performing a geometric conversion on the captured image data to a reception apparatus, or to transmit the captured image data without the geometric conversion to the reception apparatus;
• and
• performing control for performing the geometric conversion on a result of the predetermined detection processing performed on the captured image data without the geometric conversion, in a case where it is determined that the geometrically converted captured image data is to be transmitted to the reception apparatus.
