Information processing apparatus, control method, and storage medium for controlling a virtual viewpoint of a virtual viewpoint image

Abstract

An information processing apparatus configured to output a parameter related to a virtual viewpoint which is used for generating a virtual viewpoint image based on a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras, comprises: a reception unit configured to receive an input according to a user operation; a determination unit configured to determine, based on an input according to a second user operation received by the reception unit, whether to apply a predetermined restriction to determination of a parameter which is based on an input according to a first user operation received by the reception unit; and an output unit configured to output, if the determination unit determines that the predetermined restriction should be applied, the parameter determined based on the predetermined restriction and the input according to the first user operation received by the reception unit.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 one or more hardware processors; and   one or more memories which store instructions executable by the one or more hardware processors to cause the information processing apparatus to perform at least:
 receiving a first input for switching a restriction between invalid and valid; and 
   when receiving a second input for changing a position of a virtual viewpoint, (1) changing, in a case where the restriction is invalid, the position of the virtual viewpoint and a position of a gazing point corresponding to the virtual viewpoint based on the second input, and not changing a direction from the position of the virtual viewpoint, and (2) changing, in a case where the restriction is valid, the position of the virtual viewpoint and the direction from the position of the virtual viewpoint based on the second input, and not changing the position of the gazing point corresponding to the virtual viewpoint.
