Abstract
A communication apparatus for transmitting a virtual viewpoint video receives an acquisition request for a virtual viewpoint video, acquires viewpoint position information indicating a viewpoint position for the virtual viewpoint video from an apparatus that made the acquisition request, and transmits a virtual viewpoint video segment corresponding to the viewpoint position information to the apparatus that made the acquisition request. The virtual viewpoint video is video data in a format in which a video from any viewpoint position in a three-dimensional space can be rendered, and the virtual viewpoint video segment is generated by encoding the virtual viewpoint video as a two-dimensional video based on the viewpoint position information.
