  • Publication number: 20200327724
    Abstract: To prevent an object that should exist in a virtual viewpoint video image from disappearing. The image processing apparatus generates three-dimensional shape data on a moving object from images based on image capturing from a plurality of viewpoints and outputs the data to the apparatus that generates a virtual viewpoint video image. Then, in a case where it is not possible to generate three-dimensional shape data on an object that behaves as the moving object during a part of the period of the image capturing, three-dimensional shape data on the object generated in the past is output to the apparatus that generates a virtual viewpoint video image.
