Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus that self position estimation with high robustness is possible, the information processing apparatus including: a tracking unit, a region estimation unit, and an estimation processing unit. The tracking unit that acquires an image captured by an image capture unit disposed at a moving object, and corresponds characteristic points included in the image captured before movement and the image captured after the movement, the moving object moving accompanying a rotation motion. The region estimation unit that acquires information about the movement, and estimates regions where two-dimensional positions of the characteristic points are less changed viewed from the moving object before and after the movement of the moving object on the basis of the information. The estimation processing unit that performs self position estimation of the moving object using the characteristic points within the regions corresponded by the tracking unit.
