  • Publication number: 20210241425
    Abstract: There is provided with an image processing apparatus. An acquisition unit acquires, frame by frame, a video to be displayed in a display unit that is obtained by performing rendering processing on each frame of a captured video. An estimation unit estimates an ID of a frame to be acquired by the acquisition unit. A determination unit determines a drop in the frame rate of the video acquired by the acquisition unit, based on a comparison between an ID of a frame acquired by the acquisition unit and the ID estimated by the estimation unit.

  • Patent number: 10726814
    Abstract: The present disclosure changes a position of a combined image relative to a display unit in at least one of a horizontal and a vertical direction of the display unit based on information about a position and an orientation at the time of combined image display on the display unit and information about a position and an orientation of an image display apparatus at the time of image capturing by an imaging unit. In this case, the present disclosure changes the position of the combined image such that a moving amount of the combined image falls within a predetermined range in at least one of the horizontal and the vertical directions of the display unit.
