A method for generating a virtual viewpoint image includes generating, by a first image processing apparatus, first information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a first image captured by a first camera, generating, by a second image processing apparatus, second information for generating the virtual viewpoint image based on a second image captured by a second camera; specifying a viewpoint in the virtual viewpoint image; and generating, by a third image processing apparatus, a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the specified viewpoint using the first information and the second information.

Method for generating virtual viewpoint image and image processing apparatus

A generation device of a three-dimensional model including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first mask image indicating a structure area, which is an object still within each image captured from a plurality of viewpoints, and a second mask image indicating a foreground area, which is a moving object within each image captured from the plurality of viewpoints; a combination unit configured to generate a third mask image that integrates the structure area and the foreground area within the image captured from the plurality of viewpoints by combining the first mask image and the second mask image both acquired; and a generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional model including the structure and the foreground by a visual volume intersection method using the third mask image.

Generation device, generation method and storage medium for three-dimensional model that remove a portion of the three-dimensional model

An information processing apparatus for a system generates a virtual viewpoint image based on image data obtained by performing imaging from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras. The information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain a foreground image based on an object region including a predetermined object in a captured image for generating a virtual viewpoint image and a background image based on a region different from the object region in the captured image, wherein the obtained foreground image and the obtained background image having different frame rates, and an output unit configured to output the foreground image and the background image which are obtained by the obtaining unit and which are associated with each other.

Information processing apparatus, image generation method, control method, and storage medium

The image processing apparatus obtains an image representing an object, performs specific processing for an object included in an area whose object extraction accuracy is lower than a threshold value in the captured image, and generates three-dimensional shape data of the object based on the image representing the object for which the specific processing has been performed.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

A generation apparatus acquires a plurality of images obtained based on image capturing by a plurality of image capturing devices, the image indicating an object area of an object and being used for generating three-dimensional shape data of the object. The generation apparatus detects an abnormal image from among the acquired plurality of images. The generation apparatus performs processing on the detected abnormal image, in a case where the abnormal image is detected. The generation apparatus generates three-dimensional shape data of the object, by use of an image obtained as a result of performing the processing on the detected abnormal image, instead of the detected abnormal image, in a case where the abnormal image is detected.
