Abstract: An information processing apparatus 100 includes an acquisition unit 105 configured to acquire material data that is to be used for generation of a virtual viewpoint image that is based on a plurality of captured images obtained by a plurality of cameras 101 performing image capturing of a subject, and is material data represented by a first format, a conversion unit 107 configured to convert, based on information for identifying a format of material data processable by a different apparatus being an output destination of the material data, a format of the acquired material data from the first format into a second format, and a transmission/reception unit 108 configured to output the material data converted into the second format, to the different apparatus.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus identifies a sub region of an object, displayed in a virtual viewpoint image representing a view from a virtual viewpoint, based on virtual viewpoint information, and outputs division model data corresponding to the identified sub region out of foreground model data.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a management unit configured to acquire a plurality of material data for use in generation of a virtual viewpoint image based on a plurality of images captured with a plurality of cameras by imaging an object, the plurality of material data including first material data and second material data different from the first material data, and a transmission/reception unit configured to output, to a device, material data that has been selected from among the plurality of acquired material data based on information for identifying a format of material data processable by the device.
