Abstract
A setting method for setting a parameter of a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video to be generated based on images captured by a plurality of cameras includes receiving a first user operation relating to a first parameter relating to a position of a virtual viewpoint, determining a settable range of a second parameter of the virtual viewpoint by using the first parameter based on the received first user operation, and setting the first parameter based on the received first user operation and the second parameter that is based on a second user operation different from the first user operation and falls within the determined settable range as parameters of the virtual viewpoint.
Claims14
A setting apparatus configured to set a parameter of a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video to be generated based on images captured by a plurality of cameras, the setting apparatus comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- and
- a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more hardware processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving a first user operation relating to a first parameter relating to a position of a virtual viewpoint,
- determining a settable range of a second parameter of the virtual viewpoint by using the first parameter based on the received first user operation, and
- setting the first parameter based on the received first user operation and the second parameter that is based on a second user operation different from the first user operation and falls within the determined settable range as parameters of the virtual viewpoint.
A setting method for setting a parameter of a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video to be generated based on images captured by a plurality of cameras, the setting method comprising:
- receiving a first user operation relating to a first parameter relating to a position of a virtual viewpoint;
- determining a settable range of a second parameter of the virtual viewpoint by using the first parameter based on the received first user operation;
- and
- setting the first parameter based on the received first user operation and the second parameter that is based on a second user operation different from the first user operation and falls within the determined settable range as parameters of the virtual viewpoint.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a setting method for setting a parameter of a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video to be generated based on images captured by a plurality of cameras, the setting method comprising:
- receiving a first user operation relating to a first parameter relating to a position of a virtual viewpoint;
- determining a settable range of a second parameter of the virtual viewpoint by using the first parameter based on the received first user operation;
- and
- setting the first parameter based on the received first user operation and the second parameter that is based on a second user operation different from the first user operation and falls within the determined settable range as parameters of the virtual viewpoint.
