Abstract:
1. An image processing system comprising: an image acquiring part that acquires a first image obtained by being captured from a first viewpoint at a first image capture time and a second image obtained by being captured at a second image capture time different from the first image capture time; a virtual viewpoint image acquiring part that acquires a first virtual viewpoint image that is generated in a pseudo manner based upon the first image, and represents an image captured from a first virtual viewpoint that is separated by a predetermined distance from the first viewpoint; and a compensation part that includes a recognition part that recognizes a non-corresponding area of the second image that does not correspond to the first image, and adds a pixel value in accordance with a pixel value relating to the non-corresponding area of the second image recognized by the recognition part, to each pixel of a non-image capture area of the first virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a portion of a subject not captured in the first image, wherein the compensation part includes a setting part that sets a reference point included in a corresponding area of the second image that corresponds to the first image, and in accordance with positional information of a virtual reference point corresponding to a reference point in the first virtual viewpoint image and a relative positional relationship between the reference point in the second image and a process target point included in the non-corresponding area of the second image, specifies a compensation target point in the first virtual viewpoint image corresponding to the process target point in the second image, and then adds a pixel value to the compensation target point in accordance with a pixel value relating to the process target point.
