Abstract
Reduction of a work burden relating to generation of a virtual viewpoint image is implemented. An image processing apparatus includes a virtual viewpoint image generation section that generates, on the basis of three-dimensional information that represents an imaged imaging object in a three-dimensional space, an observation image from a viewpoint in the three-dimensional space as a virtual viewpoint image, and the virtual viewpoint image generation section sets the viewpoint that follows movement of the imaging object. This makes it possible to reduce an operation burden relating to setting of a viewpoint.
