Abstract
There is obtained an operation signal designating a position and an orientation in a virtual space of a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image to be generated based on a plurality of captured images obtained by performing image capturing with a plurality of image capturing devices. A second virtual viewpoint facing a first virtual viewpoint identified by the obtained operation signal is then determined. In response to an instruction from an operator based on a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the determined second virtual viewpoint, virtual viewpoint information representing the first virtual viewpoint or the second virtual viewpoint is set. This realizes a virtual viewpoint image reproducing the viewpoint of a person or the like with high accuracy.
