Abstract
An image processing system includes an image obtaining unit that obtains images based on capturing from plural directions by plural cameras, an information obtaining unit that obtains viewpoint information indicating a virtual viewpoint, and a generation unit configured to generate virtual viewpoint images on a basis of the obtained images and viewpoint information. The generation unit generates a first virtual viewpoint image outputted to a display apparatus that displays an image for a user to specify a virtual viewpoint and a second virtual viewpoint image outputted to an output destination different from the display apparatus by using at least one of data generated in a process for generating the first virtual viewpoint image by image processing using the plural images obtained by the image obtaining unit and the first virtual viewpoint image, the second virtual viewpoint image having a higher image quality than that of the first virtual viewpoint image.
