Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes: an image obtaining unit configured to obtain images based on image capturing by a plurality of cameras capturing an imaging area in a plurality of directions; an information obtaining unit configured to obtain viewpoint information that indicates a virtual viewpoint; and a generation unit configured to generate a virtual viewpoint image based on the images obtained by the image obtaining unit and the viewpoint information obtained by the information obtaining unit, so that in the virtual viewpoint image, transparency of an object at a position that shields an object of interest determined among a plurality of objects positioned in the imaging area is higher than transparency of an object at a position that does not shield the object of interest.

Claim (Index 14):
The image processing method according to  claim 13 , further comprising identifying the object at the position that shields the object of interest, based on a position and a direction of the virtual viewpoint indicated by the virtual viewpoint information and on positions of the plurality of objects, wherein\n in generating the virtual viewpoint image, the virtual viewpoint image is generated based on a result of identifying the shielding position of the object.
