Abstract
An image processing system that generates a virtual viewpoint image based on a plurality of captured images acquired by capturing an image of an image capturing target region from a plurality of directions using a plurality of cameras includes a storage control unit that stores, in a storage unit, visibility information about an element of a three-dimensional shape model of an object whose image is captured by at least one of the plurality of cameras, an acquisition unit that acquires viewpoint information indicating one or more virtual viewpoints, and an image generation unit that generates one or more virtual viewpoint images corresponding to the one or more virtual viewpoints identified by the viewpoint information, based on the plurality of captured images, the three-dimensional shape model, and the visibility information stored in the storage unit.
