Abstract
To provide a technique capable of obtaining a desired camera path by a simple operation even in a case where a large structure whose shape is complicated exists in a three-dimensional section. A camera path indicating a movement path of a virtual viewpoint in a specific area in a three-dimensional space is determined based on shape data of a structure. Then, in a case where a position of a virtual viewpoint indicated by an operation signal that is input is included in the specific area, virtual viewpoint information is generated by correcting the position of the virtual viewpoint indicated by the operation signal based on the camera path.
