Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain viewpoint information indicating at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction, and an output unit configured to output a value of the virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the position of the virtual viewpoint indicated by the viewpoint information obtained by the obtaining unit, wherein the value is determined based on the viewpoint information.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain viewpoint information indicating at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction;
- and
- an output unit configured to output a value of the virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the position of the virtual viewpoint indicated by the viewpoint information obtained by the obtaining unit, wherein the value is determined based on the viewpoint information.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain instruction information for controlling at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction, wherein the instruction information is associated with user information;
- and
- an output unit configured to output a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a position of a virtual viewpoint determined based on the instruction information obtained by the obtaining unit and based on a constraint condition for restricting control on the virtual viewpoint according to the instruction information, wherein the constraint condition is determined based on the user information associated with the instruction information.
A method for processing information, the method comprising:
- obtaining viewpoint information indicating at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction;
- and
- outputting a value of the virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the position of the virtual viewpoint indicated by the viewpoint information obtained in the obtaining, wherein the value is determined based on the viewpoint information.
A method for processing information, the method comprising:
- obtaining instruction information for controlling at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction, wherein the instruction information is associated with user information;
- and
- outputting a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a position of a virtual viewpoint determined based on the instruction information obtained in the obtaining and based on a constraint condition for restricting control on the virtual viewpoint according to the instruction information, wherein the constraint condition is determined based on the user information associated with the instruction information.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method for processing information, the method comprising:
- obtaining instruction information for controlling at least a position of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image that is generated based on a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses each capturing an image of an imaging target area in a different direction, wherein the instruction information is associated with user information;
- and
- outputting a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a position of a virtual viewpoint determined based on the instruction information obtained in the obtaining and a constraint condition for restricting control on the virtual viewpoint corresponding to the instruction information, wherein the constraint condition is determined based on the user information associated with the instruction information.
