FILE GENERATION APPARATUS, IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS BASED ON FILE, FILE GENERATION METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18208341 titled 'FILE GENERATION APPARATUS, IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS BASED ON FILE, FILE GENERATION METHOD AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a file generation apparatus that creates a file containing material data and type information for generating a virtual viewpoint image based on a multi-viewpoint image. The apparatus then outputs the generated file.

  • The invention is an apparatus for generating files with material data and type information.
  • The files are used to create virtual viewpoint images based on multi-viewpoint images.
  • The apparatus outputs the generated files.
  • The material data specifies the characteristics of the materials used in the virtual viewpoint image.
  • The type information specifies the type or category of the material data.
  • The virtual viewpoint image is generated by using the material data and type information from the file.
  • The invention aims to improve the generation of virtual viewpoint images by providing a standardized file format with material data and type information.


Original Abstract Submitted

A file generation apparatus generates a file which includes material data used for generation of a virtual viewpoint image that is based on a multi-viewpoint image and type information for specifying a type of the material data, and outputs the generated file.
