1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that is connected to or incorporated in the processor,
wherein the processor
acquires reference imaging device information corresponding to a position, an imaging direction, and an angle of view of a reference imaging device, and
on a condition that an instruction to start generating a virtual viewpoint image based on a plurality of images obtained by imaging an imaging region with a plurality of imaging devices is given,
generates the virtual viewpoint image by using the reference imaging device information as a reference, wherein a position, an imaging direction, and an angle of view of the virtual viewpoint image match the position, the imaging direction, and the angle of view of the reference imaging device.
