Abstract:
This invention can control a code amount while suppressing image quality degradation of a virtual view-point image. An image processing apparatus comprises a reception unit which receives encoded image data from an image capturing device of interest among a plurality of image capturing devices, a determination unit which determines, based on an index value of an image quality represented by encoded image data received in the past from the image capturing device of interest and the index value of an image quality represented by encoded image data transmitted by another image capturing device, a permissible range of a target image quality of a captured image, and a setting unit which sets, in an encoding unit of the image capturing device of interest, an encoding parameter according to an image quality in the determined permissible range.

Claim (Index 9):
An image processing system that includes an information processing apparatus which generates a virtual view-point image at a virtual view-point position from a plurality of captured images at different view-point positions, and a plurality of image capturing devices each of which includes an image capturing unit, encodes a captured image, and transmits the encoded image to the information processing apparatus by the image capturing unit,\n wherein the information processing apparatus comprises: a reception unit configured to receive encoded image data from an image capturing device of interest as one of the plurality of image capturing devices; a determination unit configured to determine, based on an index value of an image quality which is represented by encoded image data received in the past from the image capturing device of interest by the reception unit and the index value of an image quality which is represented by encoded image data transmitted by another image capturing device different from the image capturing device of interest, a permissible range of a target image quality of a captured image obtained by an image capturing unit in the image capturing device of interest; and a setting unit configured to set, in an encoding unit of the image capturing device of interest, an encoding parameter according to an image quality in the permissible range determined by the determination unit.
