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 14):
The system according to  claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of image capturing devices includes\n a separation unit configured to separate a foreground image and a background image from an image obtained by the image capturing unit, a first encoding unit configured to perform lossless encoding on the separated foreground image, and a second encoding unit configured to perform, in accordance with the encoding parameter, lossy encoding on the background image, and wherein the determination unit and the setting unit are applied to encoding by the second encoding unit.
