Abstract:
The present invention improves convenience in setting a path for a virtual camera. A setting method of a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video image includes displaying, on a display, a GUI image representing a first common image capturing area in which image capturing areas of a plurality of first cameras belonging to a first camera group overlap one another and a second common image capturing area in which image capturing areas of a plurality of second cameras belonging to a second camera group overlap one another so as to a user recognize them respectively, and setting a parameter relating to the virtual viewpoint based on a user input that is obtained after displaying the GUI image.

Claim (Index 1):
A setting apparatus for setting a virtual viewpoint relating to a virtual viewpoint video image which is generated using multi-viewpoint video images, the setting apparatus comprising:\n a determining unit configured to determine a plurality of common image capturing areas including at least\n a first common image capturing area in which image capturing areas of a plurality of first cameras belonging to a first camera group overlap one another and \n a second common image capturing area in which image capturing areas of a plurality of second cameras belonging to a second camera group overlap one another; and \n a setting unit configured to set a parameter relating to the virtual viewpoint based on a user input via a GUI, wherein the GUI displays an image representing the plurality of common image capturing areas which include at least the first common image capturing area and the second common image capturing area determined by the determining unit.
