Image generation apparatus, image reproduction apparatus, image generation method, and program

An image reproduction apparatus comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• receive recording-use image data generated on a basis of scene information together with display-use image data representing a part of a scene represented by the scene information, the recording-use image data including a part that is at least a part of the scene and corresponds to the display-use image data;
• reproduce the received recording-use image data;
• and
• acquire field-of-view information regarding a field of view of a viewer who watches a video obtained by reproducing the recording-use image data, and extract and display at least a part of the recording-use image data on a basis of the field-of-view information.

An image generation method comprising:

• generating, on a basis of scene information, image data representing a part of a scene represented by the scene information, as display-use image data;
• determining, as a recording target, a part that is at least a part of the scene and at least partially overlaps with the display-use image data;
• and
• generating, as recording-use image data, image data regarding a part that is at least a part of the scene and has been determined as the recording target,
• wherein the recording-use image data generated is subjected to predetermined reproduction processing.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• generating, on a basis of scene information, image data representing a part of a scene represented by the scene information, as display-use image data;
• determining, as a recording target, a part that is at least a part of the scene and at least partially overlaps with the display-use image data;
• and
• generating, as recording-use image data, image data regarding a part that is at least a part of the scene and has been determined as the recording target,
• wherein the recording-use image data generated is subjected to predetermined reproduction processing.
