Claim 16:
17. A shape data generation method comprising:
generating shape data on an object included in a first partial space by obtaining, from first elements constituting the first partial space, elements which have determined to be a part of the object included in the first partial space based on one or more captured images obtained from a first imaging apparatus group composed of one or more of a plurality of imaging apparatuses and a first parameter associated with the first partial space, the first partial space being included in an imaging space which is an image capturing target for the plurality of imaging apparatuses; and
generating shape data on an object included in a second partial space by obtaining, from second elements constituting the second partial space, elements which have been determined to be a part of the object included in the second partial space based on one or more captured images obtained from a second imaging apparatus group composed of one or more, other than the first imaging apparatus group, of the plurality of imaging apparatuses and a second parameter associated with the second partial space, the second partial space being included in the imaging space,
wherein the first partial space and the second partial space do not overlap each other in the imaging space and the first parameter and the second parameter are different from each other,
the first parameter includes information indicating up to how many captured images to be determined an element constituting the imaging space is not part of shape of the object included in the first partial space are allowed, and
the second parameter includes information indicating up to how many captured images to be determined an element constituting the imaging space is not part of shape of the object included in the second partial space are allowed.
