IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18297710 Titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for adding visual effects to objects in a virtual viewpoint image. The method involves using shape data from multiple images captured by different cameras to determine the three-dimensional shape of a foreground object. Based on this shape data, effects data is generated to create three-dimensional visual effects for specific parts of the object. Finally, a virtual viewpoint image is generated using the shape data and effects data, allowing for a virtual perspective of the object with the added visual effects.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a virtual viewpoint image, visual effects for an object are appended appropriately. Based on shape data indicating a three-dimensional shape of a foreground object captured in a plurality of images which are based on image capturing of a plurality of imaging devices, effects data indicating three-dimensional visual effects in accordance with a specific portion in the three-dimensional shape is generated. Then, by using the shape data and the effects data, a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a virtual viewpoint is generated.
