To create an image in which, at an arbitrary position of an imaging space, an object in the other imaging space is composed.SOLUTION: On the basis of line-of-sight information determined on the basis of information on a virtual viewpoint corresponding to a virtual viewpoint image created based on a first image group obtained by a first imaging apparatus group performing imaging from a plurality of directions, the line-of-sight information on a plurality of imaging apparatuses included in a second imaging apparatus group different from the first imaging apparatus group, and a second image group based on imaging of an object performed by the second imaging apparatus group from a plurality of directions, an image processing apparatus 300 creates the virtual viewpoint image when the object is present at a predetermined position in an imaging space in which the first imaging apparatus group performs imaging.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】撮像空間の任意の位置に、別の撮像空間のオブジェクトが合成された画像を生成すること。【解決手段】画像処理装置３００は、第１の撮像装置群により複数の方向から撮像されることで得られた第１の画像群に基づき生成される仮想視点画像に対応する仮想視点に関する情報に基づいて決定された視線情報であって、第１の撮像装置群とは異なる前記第２の撮像装置群に含まれる複数の撮像装置の視線情報と、前記第２の撮像装置群によりオブジェクトが複数の方向から撮像されることに基づく第２の画像群とに基づいて、第１の撮像装置群が撮像する撮像空間における所定の位置に前記オブジェクトが存在する場合の仮想視点画像を生成する。【選択図】図２
