Abstract
An object is to make it possible to provide an appropriate image. A background combined image that takes, as a foreground, an image corresponding to a virtual viewpoint that is set in an image capturing space and a background combined image that takes, as a foreground, part of a captured image captured from a specific viewpoint among a plurality of captured images are generated. Then, the configuration is designed so that it is possible to selectively output one of the background combined images.
