This paper proposes a framework that supports the photorealistic  
superimposition of virtual objects onto real scenes obtained by  
free-viewpoint image generation, which enables users to freely change their  
viewpoints in virtualized real world constructed using preliminarily recorded  
images. The framework combines the offline rendering of virtual objects and  
the free-viewpoint image generation to take advantage of the higher quality  
of offline rendering without the additional computational cost of online  
processing; i.e., it incurs only the cost of the online free-viewpoint image  
generation, which is simplified by pre-generating structured viewpoints.  
Based on the proposed framework, we develop a practical application that  
superimposes lost buildings of a historical relic into a virtualized  
environment using omnidirectional images captured from the sky, thereby,  
allowing the users to change of their viewpoint on a two-dimensional 400m x  
400m plane using viewpoints of 20m x 20m grid structure.
