Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An image processing system comprising:
a first generation device configured to generate a foreground image including a foreground object based on an image captured by a first imaging apparatus and configured to transmit data including the foreground image;
a second generation device configured to generate a part image corresponding to a part of an image captured by a second imaging apparatus different from the first imaging apparatus and configured to transmit data including the part image;
a first processing device configured to receive the data transmitted from the first generation device, and configured to generate shape data representing a shape of the foreground object based on the foreground image included in the data transmitted from the first generation apparatus;
a second processing device configured to receive the data transmitted from the second generation device, and configured to process the received data; and
an image generation device configured to generate a virtual viewpoint image according to a virtual viewpoint based on the shape data generated by the first processing device and the data processed by the second processing device,
wherein the data transmitted from the first generation device further includes information to specify that a transmission destination is the first processing device, and
wherein the data transmitted from the second generation device further includes information to specify that a transmission destination is the second processing device.
