Abstract
An image processing apparatus predicts a virtual viewpoint in a second frame subsequent to a first frame in a virtual viewpoint image and a position of a three-dimensional subject model in the second frame. The image processing apparatus determines an image capturing apparatus from which a captured image to be used for generating the second frame is obtained from among the plurality of image capturing apparatuses based on the predicted virtual viewpoint, the predicted position of the three-dimensional subject model, and image capturing parameters of the image capturing apparatuses, and generates the virtual viewpoint image based on the captured image for the second frame obtained from the determined image capturing apparatus, the three-dimensional subject model corresponding to the second frame, and the virtual viewpoint information corresponding to the second frame.
