An information processing apparatus (2000) includes a summarizing unit (2040) and a display control unit (2060). The summarizing unit (2040) obtains a video (30) generated by each of a plurality of cameras (10). Furthermore, the summarizing unit (2040) performs a summarizing process on the video (30) and generates summary information of the video (30). The display control unit (2060) causes a display system (20) to display the video (30). Here, the display control unit (2060) causes the display system (20) to display the summary information of the video (30) in response to that a change in a display state of the video (30) the display system (20) satisfies a predetermined condition.

Systems and methods disclosed herein include a method implemented by a computing system, the method comprising: receiving tracking data associated with a tracked event and executing an automated video processing procedure including: (i) initiating one or more live video feeds of the tracked events; (ii) receiving a first live video feed of a first portion of the tracked event; (iii) selecting one or more segments of the received first live video feed for further processing; (iv) receiving a second live video feed of a second portion of the tracked event; (v) selecting one or more segments of the received second live video feed for further processing; (vi) modifying the selected one or more segments to improve performance of the automated video processing procedure; and (vii) compiling the modified one or more segments into a first video of the tracked event.

An information display apparatus 400 obtains information about a plurality of apparatuses for obtaining a plurality of images captured from a plurality of directions for use in generating a virtual viewpoint image corresponding to a specified viewpoint. Furthermore, the information display apparatus 400 identifies an apparatus in an abnormal state among the plurality of apparatuses based on the obtained information. The information display apparatus 400 then causes the display unit 404 to display information indicating one or a plurality of apparatuses, among the plurality of apparatuses, that are in a predetermined relationship with the apparatus in the abnormal state.

State information indicating states of a plurality of imaging apparatuses 100-x used for generating a virtual viewpoint image is acquired. At least one image type is determined from a plurality of image types indicating display formats of displaying the states of the plurality of imaging apparatuses 100-x based on the state information. Based on the determined image type, the states of the plurality of imaging apparatuses 100-x are displayed.

There are disclosed various methods, apparatuses and computer program products for viewing volume signalling of volumetric video. In accordance with an embodiment of a method information of a viewing volume appropriate for viewing a volumetric video is obtained. The viewing volume is examined to determine what geometrical shapes describe the viewing volume. One or more geometrical shapes determined for describing the viewing volume are selected, wherein signalling information for the selected one or more geometrical shapes is constructed.

The present invention provides a user with a user interface for enabling the user to efficiently perform an operation for generating a virtual viewpoint image for each imaging target subject to be imaged by a plurality of imaging apparatuses. An event information acquisition unit acquires information about an event subjected to virtual viewpoint image generation, and transmits the acquired event information to a user interface (UI) determination unit. The UI determination unit determines a UI to be generated by a UI generation unit based on the event information transmitted from the event information acquisition unit. The UI generation unit generates the UI determined by the UI determination unit. The user performs an input operation for generating a virtual viewpoint image according to the UI generated by the UI generation unit.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system capable of providing a user who views a free viewpoint moving image with better user experience.

An information processing device of the present technology includes: a transmission unit that transmits a moving image; and a control unit that controls the transmission unit to transmit a free viewpoint moving image or a real camera viewpoint moving image on the basis of a result of determination on whether or not the free viewpoint moving image has been successfully generated, the free viewpoint moving image being a moving image generated by using a plurality of camera moving images generated by imaging a subject by using a plurality of cameras and viewed from an arbitrary position and direction, the real camera viewpoint moving image being a moving image generated from a camera moving image generated by imaging the subject by using a camera and viewed from a position and direction of the camera. The present technology is applicable to a real-time volumetric system that transmits a free viewpoint moving image in real time.

A communication terminal including circuitry to: receive video data including a captured image, from a communication management server that manages the captured image of video data distributed from another communication terminal different from the communication terminal; determine whether any predetermined-area information indicating a predetermined area of the captured image to be displayed during a reproduction time of the video data is stored in a memory; and control a display to display an image representing the predetermined area indicated by the predetermined-area information, based on a determination that the predetermined-area information is stored in the memory.

Systems and methods for implementing methods for cloud-based rendering of interactive augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) experiences. A client device may initiate execution of a content application on a server and provide information associated with the content application to the server. The client device may initialize, while awaiting a notification from the server, local systems associated with the content application and, upon receipt of the notification, provide, to the server, information associated with the local systems. Further, the client device may receive, from the server, data associated with the content application and render an AR/VR scene based on the received data. The data may be based, at least in part, on the information associated with the local system. The providing and receiving may be performed periodically, e.g., at a rate to sustain a comfortable viewing environment of the AR/VR scene by a user of the client device.

A data storage device and method for application-defined data retrieval in surveillance systems are provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to store, in the memory, a stream that combines data from a plurality of receivers; receive a request from a host for data generated by a selected receiver; extract, from the stored stream, the data generated by the selected receiver; and send the extracted data to the host. Other embodiments are provided.
