Abstract:
1. An image processing system including an image sensing apparatus for sensing a real space, and an image processing apparatus capable of data communication with the image sensing apparatus, the image sensing apparatus comprising: a first selection unit that selects one or more combinations, each of which allows to obtain a composite image having a desired image quality, from combinations of plural types of first processes and plural types of second processes, wherein each of the first processes has a different process load and is preset as a candidate process being executed by the image sensing apparatus in order to obtain the composite image by compositing a sensed image by the image sensing apparatus with an image of a virtual space seen from a viewpoint of the image sensing apparatus, wherein each of the second processes has a different process load and is preset as a candidate process being executed by the image processing apparatus in order to obtain the composite image; a second selection unit that selects by negotiation with the image processing apparatus, from the one or more combinations selected by said first selection unit, a combination which includes the first process being executable in a data process capability of the image sensing apparatus or a combination which includes the first and second processes each executable at a transmission band between the image sensing apparatus and the image processing apparatus; a first transmission unit that transmits, to the image processing apparatus, data necessary for causing the image processing apparatus to execute the second process included in the combination selected by said second selection unit; a first reception unit that receives a result of the process executed by the image processing apparatus by using the data transmitted by said first transmission unit; a first processing unit that executes the first process included in the combination selected by said second selection unit; and a display unit that displays one of the composite image obtained on the basis of the process result by said first processing unit and the composite image obtained on the basis of the process result by said first processing unit and a reception result received by said first reception unit, and the image processing apparatus comprising: a third selection unit that selects, from the combinations of the plural types of first processes and the plural types of second processes, the one or more combinations each of which allows to obtain the composite image having the desired image quality; a fourth selection unit that selects by negotiation with the image sensing apparatus, from the one or more combinations selected by said third selection unit, the combination which includes the first process being executable in the data process capability of the image sensing apparatus or a combination which includes the first and second processes each executable at the transmission band; a second processing unit that executes the second process included in the combination selected by said fourth selection unit, by using the data transmitted by said first transmission unit; and a second transmission unit that transmits a process result by said second processing unit to the image sensing apparatus.
