Abstract
There is provided a display controlling apparatus which comprises: an obtaining unit configured to obtain virtual camera path information related to a movement path of a virtual viewpoint related to a virtual viewpoint video image generated based on a plurality of shot images obtained by shooting a shooting target area with a plurality of cameras; a generating unit configured to generate a virtual camera path image representing the plurality of movement paths including first and second movement paths of the virtual viewpoint, based on the virtual camera path information obtained by the obtaining unit; and a display controlling unit configured to display the virtual camera path image generated by the generating unit, on a display screen.
Claims19
A display controlling apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain virtual camera path information related to a movement path of a virtual viewpoint related to a virtual viewpoint video image generated based on a plurality of shot images obtained by shooting a shooting target area with a plurality of cameras;
- a generating unit configured to generate a virtual camera path image representing the plurality of movement paths including first and second movement paths of the virtual viewpoint, based on the virtual camera path information obtained by the obtaining unit;
- and
- a display controlling unit configured to display the virtual camera path image generated by the generating unit, on a display screen.
A display controlling method comprising:
- obtaining virtual camera path information related to a movement path of a virtual viewpoint related to a virtual viewpoint video image generated based on a plurality of shot images obtained by shooting a shooting target area with a plurality of cameras;
- generating a virtual camera path image representing the plurality of movement paths including first and second movement paths of the virtual viewpoint, based on the obtained virtual camera path information;
- and
- displaying the generated virtual camera path image on a display screen.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a program for causing a computer to perform a display controlling method comprising:
- obtaining virtual camera path information related to a movement path of a virtual viewpoint related to a virtual viewpoint video image generated based on a plurality of shot images obtained by shooting a shooting target area with a plurality of cameras;
- generating a virtual camera path image representing the plurality of movement paths including first and second movement paths of the virtual viewpoint, based on the obtained virtual camera path information;
- and
- displaying the generated virtual camera path image on a display screen.
