Abstract:
1. An image processing method comprising: a first storage step of storing a captured image of each frame of moving images of a physical space acquired from an imaging device which captures the moving images, in association with the time at which the captured image has been captured; a second storage step of storing positions and/or orientations of the imaging device at respective times acquired from a sensor measuring the positions and/or orientations of the imaging device, in association with the time of acquisition of the positions and/or orientations; a lag setting step of setting data d representing a lag; a generation step of generating, for each time t, an image by superimposing a virtual-space image, based on the position and/or orientation whose acquisition time is based on time t and the lag d set in the lag setting step, on the captured image whose acquisition time corresponds to time t; a display step of displaying multiple of the respective images generated for the respective times t; and a determination step of determining a value for the lag d on the basis of a user instruction.
