  • Publication number: 20230005213
    Abstract: There is provided an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program, capable of easily obtaining an image captured from a desired position. By using distance information from an imaging position to a subject and model information, a virtual image obtained by imaging the subject from a virtual imaging position different from the imaging position is generated from a captured image obtained by imaging the subject from the imaging position. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging apparatus that images a subject.
