Abstract: First information is obtained from a first control apparatus for controlling a first image capturing device on an upstream side of an image capturing device. Based on a captured image obtained by the image capturing device and the first information, second information used to generate a 3D model of an object in the captured image is generated. Transmission information is transmitted to a second control apparatus for controlling a second image capturing device on a downstream side. Generation of the transmission information is controlled in accordance with a size of the object in the captured image or the size and a position of the object in the captured image in a case in which the captured image obtained by the image capturing device includes an invalid object that is not an object corresponding to information registered in advance.
