  • Patent number: 11954777
    Abstract: There is provided an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program capable of expanding the range of expression in a moving image generated by use of a 3D model. The image processing apparatus includes: a virtual camera setting unit that makes settings for a virtual camera; a virtual viewpoint image generation unit that generates a virtual viewpoint image that is an image of a 3D object viewed from a viewpoint of the virtual camera; a composition unit that generates a composite image based on a plurality of the virtual viewpoint images; and a moving image generation unit that generates a moving image including a frame based on the virtual viewpoint image or the composite image, in which after arranging a plurality of the virtual cameras, the virtual camera setting unit moves at least one of the plurality of virtual cameras to integrate the plurality of virtual cameras. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an apparatus that edits a moving image.

  • Publication number: 20220108541
    Abstract: A degree of freedom in image production regarding tracking of a subject is improved. Designation of a placement position in a display area of a tracking target is received on a first screen in which a predetermined image is displayed in the display area. For example, a user is allowed to designate a position (a position within the display area) in which a tracking target subject is disposed in a state in which image content can be recognized on a display screen.
